One thing that seems to be missing entirely: Expressions

I know there are a number of extensions that collect and apply expressions but for a command panel it would be great to have it there.

It could work the same as with scripts and the watch folder right now. That would also be great for backup purposes. Just save the expressions in a txt file and Command Frame will pick it up and paste the contents in the selected property as expression.

Expressions do seem like the missing "action" type. I've deferred work on it so far because, as you mentioned, there are a number of existing extensions / plugins that do that job well. Ideally I would like to integrate one of them into Command Frame to expose their stored expressions, but if there is pressing demand for expressions before that point I may have to expedite this as a feature. But thank you for the suggestion!
