Is it possible to load projects into Xbench from command line?
Not right click on the file in Windows Explorer > Run QA in Xbench

But something like:
Run > cmd.exe > Xbench open Phrase_file.mxliff

You can open Xbench projects from the command line, but not bilingual files directly.

However, you have these readily available options:

Option A

You can set up an Xbench project (.xbp file extension) that loads all files of a certain type in a given folder and then just leave in that folder the file or files that you wish to open.

You would then run the command:

c:\>xbench xbenchproject.xbp

Option B

You can add the file or files in a zip file with file extension .xbpkg and open the .xbpkg file from the command line.

You would then run the command:

c:\>xbench xbenchpackage.xbpkg

This latter approach might be more convenient because you can first run a command-line command to zip file Phrase_file.mxliff and then run the xbench.exe command against the zipped file renamed with the .xbpkg extension.
