Subject: session: add support to auto detect input format (for init file)
X-Git-Url: https://sigrok.org/gitaction?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d7168e582c71ebcc359b12efed83daa2a6b6f28e;p=pulseview.git

session: add support to auto detect input format (for init file)

Extend the Session::load_init_file() method, to have the input format
automatically detected in the absence of an -I spec upon startup.

This fixes part of bug 1015. Input files specified at the command line
when pulseview gets invoked are handled. Files that interactively get
loaded while pulseview is running are not handled yet.
