I don’t think anything was eliminated.
I think you have selected Add -> Perform Action… -> Load table content and panels…
That opens a window where you can select a file to load.
Instead, as Dave has pointed out, you want to have Add -> Load table content and panels….
That will prompt you right then, when you select that, for which file you want to load. It will then remember that and load exactly that file the next time the program starts.

Dear Dave
If i put that action in startup it does not allow me to select the file i want to be opened after startup is finished the way it did in jmri 5.8.
It opens a window after the startup is done and now i have to search the computer jmri director for the layout panel that goes with that profile.
Why was this feature eliminated from 5.10 when it was in 5.8

A file selector will open and you can select which file to load.
I don't know how "without signals" works with turnouts.

Dear dave
the new version 5.10 of jmri does not allow me to open a file in startup.
i can load the ability to open a file but i can not find a way to open s specific file.
i dont want to have to guess which panel goes with which profile
how do i open a file on startup in 5.10
also remind me about switches being part of a block when using automation.
i believe the problem was in putting sml signals at the switch.
But if i run automation without signals what are the issues with having a switch as part of a block?
