Is there a way to create a dynamic value that executes a shell script and takes the stdout from it? I'm working with a header that changes every couple of minutes, and for the moment I have to manually execute the script, copy the output and insert it into my environment variables. This is tedious to do it so often... I managed to make my own extension for dynamic value, but I couldn't find a way to execute local scripts and return the string. Ist this even possible? Or are any other possibilities to do this?

    Unfortunatey, not yet. We've thought about adding this possibility, but we haven't decided yet whether we'll implement this. In fact, Paw has a JavaScript API (see "API Reference" in https://paw.cloud/docs/) and this may solve most of user needs. Though, we're of course open to new ideas :) – Micha Mazaheri Feb 28 '18 at 16:50
  • OK, pity. Now I'm using a file, and execute the script manually and let paw read from the file. I saw the JS api, and started doing my own extension with it, but got stuck when I had to execute a local script on my machine. Would be cool if this would be possible, or at least provide a method over the JS api for this...? I know there could be some security issues... but still, could be very useful. :) – Juan Romero Mar 01 '18 at 22:22
