    Modular Operation

    成 张 · 0 · Posted

    I hope to add a way to modularize the task list.For instance.Now there is actually this modular way.But there's a problem.Is when one of the tasks invokes the other.There is no easy way to edit the task being called.I hope to add a function, that is, in the task that calls other tasks, click on the called task, you can directly enter the editing process of the called task.That would be very convenient.In addition, the task module called in the task list is displayed in another color, so that it can be well distinguished, it is not a normal task

    Profiles: Wifi Connected state could set local variables describing the wifi connection

    Boolean263 · 0 · Posted

    I think it'd be helpful if the Wifi Connected state set some local variables which described the current wifi connection for the task it will be calling.

    Newer states/events for Tasker set local output variables for their respective tasks; for example, the Logcat Entry event sets %lc_text to the logcat line it matched.

    I'm hoping it would be possible for the Wifi Connected state to set variables such as %ssid, %mac, %ip, %sig, %spd, and %chl to their respective values as seen in %WIFII.

    Thanks!

Can you prepare 1 opening and 1 closing macro on this subject or help me how to do it. Since my English is bad, I translated it with Google Translate. Thanks in advance.

    Nested or grouped tasks

    Michael Venetiaan · 1 · Last reply by Simon H

    Stay with me, Joao! please... ;-)

    I know, I know...

    I have seen others request this, without fully or clearly explaining any type of detail or benefit.

    I have made images to explain how this would benefit the usability of Tasker. As a UI designer myself, I am often annoyed by this small but easily fixable thing. I have made examples in Photoshop to illustrate my explanation: My home automation tab ("project") is a good section to demonstrate this with, as it consists of many many tasks. This causes me to have to scroll quite a lot. And I have

    Javascriptlet evaluates backslash escape codes in variables

    Frits van Bommel · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Javascriptlet action changes the values of variables that contain backslash escape codes by evaluating them, even if the JavaScript code doesn't touch that variable.

    This task demonstrates the problem:

    Bug in Javascriptlet (127) <Other backslash codes also break> A1: Variable Set [ Name:%data To:\\ Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off Max Rounding Digits:3 ] <Stores 2> A2: Test Variable [ Type:Length Data:%data Store Result In:%data_length ] <Code must contain an identifier, even if it is commented out.> A3: JavaScriptlet [ Code:// something Libraries: Auto Exit:On Timeout (Seconds):45 ] <Stores 1> A4: Test Variable [ Type:Length Data:%data Store Result In:%data_length_after ]

    Store exported items in projects in relevant folders

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    When exporting items from a Project, could they please be placed into relevant sub folders please? This would make it easier finding items when exporting lots from different projects. Maybe as a toggle in case others don't want this?

    Thank you!

    Enabling Tasker to be able to write itself (thoughts for implementing it relatively fast)

    Juhan · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    In short, with the bigger end in mind it's for implementing machine learning (artificial intelligence); but here I am talking about making Tasker to write itself and what it enables to do.

    Should accentuate that the main idea here is not directly about adding machine learning capabilities to Tasker. The main idea of this one is more about enabling Tasker to be able to do some of those basic things that are needed for users to build own AIs if they want to. What I talk about in this post will enable bunch of things. And it also provides fundamental groundwork for

    Convert condition to If block (and vice versa)

    Frits van Bommel · 0 · Posted

    When editing code you might sometimes find that what was originally a condition on a single action actually needs to apply to multiple actions, or that an If block that used to be bigger now only contains one action.

    As you commented on this suggestion (sorry, I can't find a way to link the comment directly), the solution to the first part is often to use an If block instead. However the conversion can currently be cumbersome to do by hand, especially for complicated conditions. And Tasker is all about automating stuff, right? :)

    I think it'd be nice if

    An easy way to filter arrays

    Frits van Bommel · 0 · Posted

    Currently, if we want to filter an array we need to use %var(#?pattern), then loop over the indices returned and construct a new array. Another suggestion already exists to get rid of that loop by allowing %var(1,5,7) to return an array with just those indices and I agree that'd be a nice improvement. There it is then suggested that we could then use %var(%var(#?pattern)) to filter an array. However, I think for that special case we can do even better.

    We currently already have %var(#>)/%var(>) and %var(#<)/%var(<), where the version with # returns the index and the other the value,

    timezone

    Patrick Lucas · 0 · Posted

    Hi

    My device is a Huawei MediaPad M5 tablet running Android 8 and the "Set Timezone" action appears red and cannot be used. This is preventing me from creating a task to update the timezone depending on GPS location.

    I know very little about Android programming but I found the link below and was wondering if it has anything to do with the issue. Please take a look.

    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,

    Tasker UI - possibility to show/sort profiles based on the priority

    Daniel Hajduch · 3 · Last reply by Daniel Hajduch

    Recently I had some problems with profile execution, I have a lot of profiles, and I found that it was a problem with priorities. But checking the profile priority means a lot of clicks. Would it be possible to show profile priority next to the profile on/off switch? I think at left side of the switch. Or add priority as separate column with possibility to sort profiles by it's priorities?

    Thanks

    Images moved by Tasker persist in MediaStore

    Tobias · 0 · Posted

    Hi!

    I am writing an app that downloads images into an folder. I was using Tasker to move and combine files from multiple folders into one folder. However, I saw that my app crashes when I re-download an image, that I downloaded before and then moved with tasker.

    contentResolver.insert gives me: SQLiteConstraintException: UNIQUE constraint failed: files._data where _data is the path of the by then non-existent file, and I need to use contentResolver.delete to delete the empty row from the MediaStore, after that I can download the file.

    Now, I was investigating this issue and found that if I use other apps

    activate fingerprint scanner w/o screen blackout

    Logan · 1 · Last reply by Fabian Jiron

    I just noted that my Bank app with fingerprint identification feature, does not need to turn off the display to activate the fingerprint sensor, it merely prompts to place finger on sensor, and the sensor is active and awaiting a print to ID.

    On the new fingerprint Tasks and Profiles that Logcat feature has opened up, Id love to see an option to activate fingerprint sensor without the need to black out the display :)

    New run log option to filter and search for Tasker ID numbers

    Rich D · 2 · Last reply by Rich D

    This will go with the new "Search Tasker " option found here

    https://tasker.helprace.com/i839-new-mag-glass-search-tasker-option-search-by-tasker-id-number

     

    New run  log option--

     A long press in the ID column will now offer the options to

     ---Filter on that ID number

     -- ** Search Tasker By ID Number ** 

    which will open the tasker search function and search for that specific ID number.

    New mag glass Search Tasker option - search by Tasker ID number

    Rich D · 1 · Last reply by Michael Venetiaan

     

    New search option--

      You can currently tap the triangle next to the search text box to reveal the Contains / Matches / Regex .  I propose a new category of "Tasker ID number"  This would allow to search for any id number for profiles and tasks without having to use profile or task names which can give to many results sometimes.  So searching for a task by task Id number will now show you any profile or scene that is linked to the task (very useful ) and allow you to tap the task Id number of a
