Listing configuration file names with the extension .mtxcfg causes the GUI to load the those configuration files in the appropriate tool. Any other file name is added as an input file for merging, opened in the chapter editor or in the header editor depending on the current mode. The current mode can be changed with --merge, --edit-chapters or --edit-headers. The default mode is adding files for merging.

Note that if an instance of the application is already running when the application is started a second time all file names given on the command line are handled by the already-running instance.
