No, there isn't a per-base "add to batch download queue" method (yes, I could add one pretty easily). However, the batch lists are now just .ini files (for details, see
https://wiki.synchro.net/history:newfilebase#batches), so adding/removing files to the queue from a JS module should be pretty trivial. I'm pretty sure you know the File class has methods for dealing with .ini files.
