**Example:**

- Source: 910 bytes text file

- After Copy File: 9 bytes with garbage content `J¬ºK¿®+!`

**Working alternatives (same files):**

- Read File + Write File = perfect copy

- Shell `cat "source" > "dest"` = perfect copy

## Environment

- Tasker version: 6.5.9

- Android 15

- Device: Samsung S23 ultra 

Currently, Get Location V2 returns the GPS altitude above the WGS84 ellipsoid. Whilst useful for some things, it's not a very human-relevant number, as most people think of altitude in terms of the height above sea level. Here's a good thread explaining the issue. Correcting for this issue within Tasker is non-trivial. 

Android now has built-in support for making this correction. Could we have optional access to it through Get Location v2, please?

Hi.

I use links linke "tasker://secondary?app=tc" to launch apps from my walltablet dashboards via Tasker.

This was working fine, one click and the action started.

But after updating Play Store Tasker version from 6.4.15 to 6.5.9 the browser asks me how to handle the links.

Tested on Samsung Internet and Chrome.

So now I need two clicks where before one was enough.

How to get the "old" behavoir back?

Thanks in further!

I want to report the remote execution problem. I couldn't import neither Google Cloud Service Account nor Google Cloud Firebase JSON files in Preference > Misc configuration as per step 3 from here. I have imported the JSON files using magnifying glass and copy-paste it directly to the corresponding input field, but it keeps showing error something like "Invalid JSON file, null" even though the JSON files of mine are not error and formatted correctly (you could see this post attachments for the evidence).

I have been downloaded the APK from your google drive (this) based on the solved problem before,

In scenes could you please update checkbox and toggles so that their default value can be variable driven? Currently you can only choose of they are on or off instead of setting the state with a variable.

I suggest AI for Tasker and will be called Tasker Intelligence to do some action quickly. Any AI can't take action on any device and is limited. But Tasker with AI can do more action easily. I hope you all like this.

I have two smaller proposals:

1. 

it would be useful to add to Stop task possibility of:

- stopping parent task (both anonymous and named) 

- stopping all parent caller tasks

currently it can be done by parsing %caller() variable but it is difficult and not possible to obtain task name for anonymous tasks

2. 

Possibility to set cooldown times on profiles for both active and inactive states (currently is possible for active state only)

These two things can be useful for situations where for example I need profile with state WiFi connected and need to prevent situations where I'm

The command system is incredibly powerful and simple to use, it can be used as a way to simplify various projects and tasks into a single one that takes the command and does stuff based on the command itself.

It is easier than "Run Task" because the syntax is significantly easier. However, the drawback is that if you have one task that triggers a command and another that gets triggered by it, the first one has no way of knowing if the second one finished without problem, as there's no "return variable" option and no way to logically allow it.

Please extend If ~R conditionals to support named regular expression capture groups (e.g., (?<ssid>.*)), just as the Simple Match/Regex action does. This would bring consistency across matching actions and allow cleaner logic in reusable tasks by eliminating the need for intermediate extraction steps.

Example:

…should create the variable %ssid if matched, just like Simple Match/Regex already does.

Thank you!

It'd be great to be able to copy the If section of one action to another.  There are certain criteria I use over and over, and typing them each time leads to typos.  And it's so frustrating to get a complex If tweaked just right and then realize I should have used a different action.  It'd be nice to be able to use Switch Action without losing the criteria, or to be able to copy the existing criteria and paste them into a new action.

I'm not talking about copying the variable or value individually.  I know that's already possible.
