Tasker and Autotools feedback

Environment

I'm using Tasker v2.9.3.beta and Autotools v2.2.3 on android 10 MIUI.

Problem (bug probably)

I used the Autotool SSH action, which should return the a result after sending a command using ssh. The problem is it either return an error, nor a result, the result variable is empty. The same ssh command ran in a normal terminal has the expected result. I recorded a video for this.

Suggestions

I'd like to suggest that two actions should be integreted to tasker:

• SSH

• File dialog

SSH

For many people, SSH is a really unreplaceable and important tool, and I think letting a Plugin doing this and then passing returned result to Tasker might increase the unstability and data insecurity.

File dialog

I think there are many cases when user need to use a tasker task to process a file which was generated lately. In this case, letting user using a system dialog to choose a file then continue the task would bring great convinience.

And also, since Tasker file choose dialog is not feature riched, letting system file choose dialog do the file choosing work could cut down your developing task and improve users experience: they can use whatever file explorer they like opened from system choose file dialog to select files.

You can see that system file choose dialog is much more feature-riched than tasker's file dialog from the pictures below:

Originally

I thought maybe tasker should integrate the ffmpeg tool, so it could handle video and audio easily. But then I thought that since the ffmpeg is a command line tool, I can install it in termux, letting tasker using ssh to run commands. Then I disappointedly found that tasker has no SSH support. But surpringly Autotools has SSH, so I had a try. But the autotool don't return the result. This is really annoying. And another problem is tasker is not able to let users choose a file easily. Even though Autotools has the Dialog Action file type, I still think it's very uncomfortable not integrating such a good feature into Tasker.

Thanks, best wishes!
