Simple Quake Launcher By MaxEd
Posted by MaxEd:

Simple Quake Launcher v1.0

PREAMBLE:
One day I've got tired of editing .bat files to launch Quake maps. I went online to find something similar to ZDL, but for Quake. I haven't found anything usable there (Quake Injector is a bit too cumersome for my tastes...), so I decided to make one myself.

FEATURES:
- Small and easy to use.
- Can detect maps in folders and .PAK files (.PK3 support is planned).

INSTALLATION:
Extract SQLauncher.exe into your Quake directory.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5.
NOTICE: if you already have .Net Framework 4.0 or newer installed, you'll still need to install 3.5 version, because newer versions are not backwards compatible with it!

Yeah I can't think of a reason to have +map early in the command line. 
SQL Presets 
While I would never suggest making this great lil' program complicated, have you ever thought about saving more than the last ran options to your .ini file... as saved presets?

A lonnnnnng time ago I made "Modrunner95", hehe! My Win95 version of SQL. It allowed saving to the .ini file different settings/options and seemed a good feature.

As far as UI elements go it would only require the addition of a drop down combo box and a way to get a "name" for the preset from the user. A lil' bit of code to populate the box with multiple .ini file entries ofc. 
 
I agree, this would be pretty damn helpful.
