When I go to the scenes tab and tap the plus sign, I'm prompted to name my scene. As soon as I tap the check mark after naming, Tasker crashes. Backed up data, reinstalled, and restored. Same result.

As of now, tasker backups are stored in XML format and is naked. It would be great if it is encrypted or at least locked, below are my suggestions:

• Encryted XML content with a key like RSA + optional passphrase
• Zip the file and lock it with a passphrase

No need to grant them all, at least our setup are locked.

Please also force us to use strong passphrases. 

JSON format would be great too since it would be smaller (I think) in size than XML format thus making the encryption or zip locking process a little bit faster

Tasker's default Quick Settings Tile is very useful for disabling/enabling Tasker, but can its label be changed from "Toggle" to "Tasker" to better describe its function?

Update the behavior of the Tasker Action: Display AutoRotate (Off, On, Toggle) to reflect the Screen rotation changes introduced in Android 9 (API level 28):

“When the device is in rotation lock mode, users can lock their screen to any rotation supported by the top, visible Activity. An Activity should not assume it will always be rendered in portrait. If the top Activity can be rendered in multiple rotations in auto-rotate mode, the same options should be available in rotation locked mode, …”

Currently, setting Display AutoRotate to Off, always locks the screen to portrait instead of the current orientation.

For example, I have an array_list with (red, green, blue), so I want that when the list display, the item red will be in red color and so on.

So the idea is that we can create another array for example array_color based on array_list with (#ffff0000, #ff00ff00, #ff0000ff) and put the variable in the text color field. Then the text color and array item is link together by the array index, therefore the list will display array_list(1) with the text color array_color(1).

The same suggestion for image path in Item Layout. So we can put array_icon in the image

It should be useful if we can select all and clear selection wherever there is a list of item show. For example: List Dialog or List Menu in scene.

I know that Mateo asked for some sort of loops like "while", but he was answered with "For" loop which in programming works differently.

Also, I am asking for true "While" loop. To give better view of this concept I am going to share my case: I'd like to hear who calls on the phone. So, AutoNotification comes here and the Tasker, of course. I make three profiles: one with Event->Phone->Phone Ringing, another one with Event->Phone->Missed Call and the last one with Plugin->AutoNotification. The first two just switch value of one shared variable %phoneRings from false, when phone does not

When copy pasting a scene element, the dimensions always change slightly. (e.g. a rectangle of 50x50 becomes a rectangle of 54x47).

If you immediately change the dimensions (before closing the element edit scene), then the changes will not save. You have to open the element again and change the dimensions.

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

my tasker app suggested me to update the app and once i try to update it through https://support.taskrabbit.com/hc/en-ca/articles/204409600-How-Do-I-Download-the-Tasker-App-

it couldn’t install the file. Now i cant open the app and get an error as unable to install Tasker.

i tried to install both former and current versions if the app, sane thing happens. 

i have already booked for some tasks for next days but can’t see the adresses nor i have any tool to warn the clients. 

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 I turn the Phone's Mobile data and WiFi Hotspot on and off with the Bluethooth pairing of the Tablet and Phone and the bluethooth disconnection. How is it happening. 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.

I want to find out how much free space I still have in my Google Drive account and clear the trash when needed.

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

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:

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!

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

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

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,

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.
