In my case, all files are to be opened by LaTeX and all options would be
the same, so that would be fine, but ...

Nice, great, thanks a lot. Honestly, I liked the idea of a texlua script
because it is (1) a scripting language so easy to develop and test, and
move to other computers, and (2) it uses direct library calls.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I will try them out.

Thanks
