Refresh after shell command - possible?

I have a shell command button that renames files.
Is there any way to refresh after that command is run so I can see the new file names?

No, currently there are only two options:
? at the start of the parameters lets the user edit them before executing
* at the start of the parameters (or after the ?) will show the results in a dialog box instead of a short toast message
Maybe I could use a third such placeholder for refresh?

I would like that.

I'm considering to use the & character for that, because it cannot be the first character of a shell command, just like ? and *.
What do you think? Am I missing something?

Sounds good to me, but I'm not a Linux shell or Android expert.

OK, I will add it to the next beta, probably next week.

Beta 5 is available now, you can use the & character at the start (after the ? if you need that) to refresh the current panel when done.
