Description
Currently, projectMSDL only supports the presetPath argument to load presets from a single directory. To make it easier for users to open presets and preset playlists from file browsers or other applications, projectMSDL should support passing in preset files via anonymous arguments which don't require an additional command-line switch like --presetPath / /presetPath.
If multiple files are listed, all of those passed in should be added to the internal playlist instead of using the default preset path/playlist configured.

Research direction
Start with the command-line argument handling for the existing presetPath option and the code that initializes the internal playlist. Check how anonymous arguments could be recognized as preset or playlist files, then verify that multiple supplied files populate the playlist instead of the configured default path or playlist.
