Feature request: CLI to select/switch OverlayEditor (.ovl) layouts #4

Description

@theboy181

Summary
Please add command-line support to select and switch the active OverlayEditor .ovl layout used by the RTSS OSD. This would allow launching scripts and frontends to choose a specific layout without manual interaction or hotkeys.

Why this helps

Per-game automation from batch files/launchers.

Works for exclusive fullscreen titles where OSD is the viable path.

Eliminates the need to maintain GUI steps or global hotkeys just to change layouts.

What I’m asking for
A simple CLI capability to:

Set the active OSD layout to a specified .ovl file (ideally accepting an absolute path).

(Nice to have) Query which layout is currently active.

Environment

Windows 11

Current public RTSS build

Latest rtss-cli

Thanks for considering!
