Show control command to load a show file?


Is there any way to open a specific show file via a show control command (UDP string or OSC)? I have a few different shows each with their own lighting file. Since the cues are fired by number by my show control system, I don't want it firing cues from the wrong file. Ideally when someone changes the show through the show controller, it would automatically load the right matching file in my lighting console so my operator doesn't have to remember to manually change shows in the lighting console as well. Since the show control settings are inside the show file I'm guessing that opening/saving files is probably at a higher level than what the string commands can control. However, I only have these few shows and one of them will always be loaded and they all have the same show control settings, so it would be nice to be able to send a command to switch between them.
