Hi there,

I'm facing an issue where I'm not sure if it's an issue of my phone (Pixel 3 with latest updates) or Tasker.

I created an task which switchs the background picture when my calendar shows that I'm having on-call for my company (State -> Calendar Entry). The on-call appointment is a bi-weekly recurring all-day appointment for 7 days. When the on-call starts, the background switchs as expected.

But during the week sometimes the profile becomes inactive for some hours. I added a log task with timestamps to the task to see when this exactly happens. But there's no

I'm having a bit of problems creating large scenes, that are supposed to use the entire screen. One thing is that I cannot create scenes that are larger than the screen not including the lower android buttons, but in addition to that they are rather difficult to create and edit, since the scene editor buttons are made invisible if the scene is to great. Would it be possible to edit a scene in for instance 75% size?

Also it would have been great if apps using scenes were handled by Android as other apps, and not only as dialogs, in

I sometimes need to be able to search for for example different variables in the code. There seems to be a small error in this search possibility, as it only returns the lines where the variables are being set, like "Variable Set %var to 0", but not the lines where the variables are being used, for instance if you set a command to be run only "If %var = 0" or something like that, the search for "%var" doesn't stop at that command. Anything to do about that?

1. Permanently visible debug menu while running an app

Especially when it comes to the larger apps / codes I would wish for an easier way to debug the code. As far as I know, the only way to truly debug the code as it runs, is by pressing the  button. And unfortunately that is not too easy either, as after a few clicks, the whole menu at the bottom of the screen with these play buttons on disappears. And so you'll have to drag the screen up and down and then press the button every time you want it to

Want function to make Kid apps appear in Matching Activities when intent is fired. Example a tap on link opens up choice of apps to open with.. Kids app or tasker isn't available in the choices.

Would be nice to have an option to auto collapse the notification bar after tap a button. This could avoid the creation of another task just because theres not necessary to add a Close System Dialog action and the other action to accomplish this.

I have created a lot of scenes. Buttons that pop up on the left or right to take me to different menus (scenes) that I created. Of course I have a lot of different projects that have a lot of different scenes that fire at different times depending on conditions etc.. 

So I had an idea. It would be so awesome if there was an Action under the "Scenes" category that could toggle All scenes off or on, and when toggled on, would put all the scenes right back where they were at previously. Not entirely sure if it's possible,

Phone ringing event only triggers on Blank, Any, or My Contact*. (The * is required).  Caller Name In (%CNAME) only returns GMail, never a name.)

The Phone Ringing event does trigger on phone numbers 555123456*  (Yup the * is required) and %CNAME will be GMail.

Phone Ringing Event triggering on Contacts Labels would be great!

Hello please make it possible to set scene as default launcher or widget. 

If music is playing by the "Music Play Dir" action it would be great to have other actions to control the currently playing music, most important:

• next song
• previous song
• play/pause song

But also actions like fast-forward would be nice. I know it's currently possible to go to the next song by calling "Music Play Dir" on the same folder again, but this is not practical if there are many "Music Play Dir" actions for different folders and you want to have a single action to go to the next song everywhere.

Maybe easier alternative: "Publish" currently playing music to the android

To enable permission for toggle Airplane Mode only requires an ADB appops command be run only once. I have verified this using appops, that after device reboot, Tasker retains permission to toggle Airplane Mode without re-enabling ADB wifi.

Yet trying to toggle Airplane Mode in Tasker will fail due to ADB Wifi not being on. Tasker does not attempt to toggle Airplane Mode, even though it already has permission.

If Tasker can retain permissions, then enabling ADB Wifi after reboot appears unnecessary.

Thank you

I often edit tasks that I'm sure are used somewhere but I can not find where.

I imagine an option on long press of an item that shows a list of everything else that references that named item (including variables, tasks, scenes, profiles, etc). From the list, I can tap to go to that item.

Currently, we can search. However this idea would be far more capable than the search is, more usable (and quicker) AND you don't have to worry about typing in a variable name wrong.

In latest build of Tasker or Tasker factory sometimes i have problem with compiling apk which have third party / downloaded images in it. I used to use images as my app's background.. by the way i always use jpg format

Completely disable the proximity sensor, so that the screen never goes out when you bring your finger close to the proximity sensors description

Is it possible to add a Marker Unique ID? Something like the Marker label just to identify my marker from a group of markers. I appreciate you ahead of time.

We don't have this yet, the only viable option for us is just backup and restore Tasker as one. This is good when you want to switch device to another one. But if you have multiple devices with different setup, it's a different story.

I know that we have export & import, but it doesn't work exactly the same as backup and restore feature as you don't really restore global variable. 

hi, first: great app!

i wanted to ask for support for the current version (lineage 18.1) in order to switch profile settings. it was working on different devices with lineage 16.

many thanks for the support!

🚀Feature request:

I think that the process of frequent variables/arrays selection using build-in 'variable select dialog' is not the most convenient one. It could be made much easier and faster. 

💡Solution/idea:

➞A native popup dialog automatically triggered when we type '%' with a list of local/global variables. With autocomplete function after typing next letters and paste after selecting it. And auto-insert after pressing space when list_Items=1

💡Idea2️⃣

for debugging mainly, but maybe will simplify the code too:

➞Checkbox ☐ for 'variable set' action to quickly flash it after initialization

Hi

I tried to create a home screen launcher by a scene and I can tell literally it was far better than any android launcher I've Nova launcher prime which supposed to be the best for customisation but it fell a part in front of the scene capabilites the only issue that let me drop the continuity of the whole thing was the boot time of Tasker the scene won't shows up until tasker receive the boot complete event which really takes long that makes the phone without any icons or launcher. 

The request if possible to load some core components

'Multiple variables set' action Does not assign a value from '%err' immediately after shell action. Screenshot attached
