New Ideas for Properties

I have already implemented a few of the properties mentioned below but then had to take a detour because of attributes for the properties. However, here are a few new properties that I came up with:

  • ${tmpfile;content="..."} (done) — this creates a temporary file and puts the value of the content attribute into the file.
  • ${tmpfile;name="..."; content="..."} (done)
  • ${tmpfile;dir="..."; name="..."; content="..."} (done)
  • ${tmpfile;keep="true"; dir="..."; name="..."; content="..."} (done)
  • ${input}— asks the user for an input string
  • ${input; message="..."; title="..."}

Again, can anyone come up with other properties that might be useful? Please post a comment.

Thank you!
