Description:
I could not find a way to open an sql script file with workbench from Visual Studio 2010 as external tool, since workbench closes if no connection is open. i ask for some way to specify one or more connections registered in workbench.

Also it seem altogether impossible to open a file with an extension other than '.sql'...

How to repeat:
1) File -> Open script
2) attempt to open script file via command line

Fixed as of MySQL Workbench 6.0.4, and here's the changelog entry:

As requested, MySQL Workbench can be opened from Visual Studio (or most any application) as an external tool. The "--query" command line option accepts connection information, see "--help" for additional options.

Thank you for the bug report.
