OK, but in that case, why is there a %file argument, and a text-entry box with a hint that says "Path to the local file (or to the temporary copy)"? I know what the "temporary copy" is -- that's what it loads from cache now, regardless of what argument I use -- but what does "the local file" currently refer to?
