Suggestion for new functionality (parameters text file)

[Mauricio Villablanca]

First of all, great job Phil, thank you very much for sharing this awesome tool for reading image metadata.

I'd like to make a suggestion. I've been using ExifTool to read folders that contain a lot of images using if statements in order to limit processing. For this I'm using batch files which have a size limit of 8192 characters so when the entire command with a lot of parameters gets too long I had to forget about the conditions. A way around could be by having ExifTool read the parameters from a text file. This would allow for the use of bacth files with an unlimited number of parameters.

Do you have any plans to implement something like this?

Great idea! 

This is already implemented with the -@ option.
