1. Please add to the description that this extension is uses `voluble` as its dependency. 2. You shouldn't use spawn command with the strings content you don't know (line 90`extension.js`), since that can cause security issues. Maybe save the string content in a temporary file and let the `voluble` read that. If you need any help with your extension you can ask us on: - [GNOME Extensions Matrix Channel](https://matrix.to/#/#extensions:gnome.org) - IRC Bridge: irc://irc.gimpnet.org/shell-extensions

Thanks, Creating a voluble.tmp file in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (with the hopes that GLib.get_user_runtime_dir() resolves to that in all cases). Otherwise I can use '/tmp/voluble.tmp' Submitting revised code now...
