Description

As a reflectometry instrument scientist I would like to be able to load a script onto the queue directly from a file without going via "edit script" window, to reduce number of clicks.

This should be a relatively minor extension of the script server GUI, with no server-side changes required.

Contact MS (INTER) when done.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the script server GUI code to understand the current pattern for loading scripts, then add a file selection dialog that directly loads a script onto the queue.
