    Scene Tasks Management

    roizcorp · 0 · Posted

    I created an "app" in a form of a scene, I run in as Tasker shortcut. There are many elements, each can run multiple tasks depending the context and the action (tap, long tap etc.). Creating it was one of the more difficult projects I created in Tasker for the following reasons: For every edit I need to do multiple steps in order to test and debug (i.e.

    1. hit back numerous times to get out of scene editor
    2. start scene - usually dedicated tasks with at least "show scene" action
    3. operate the element
    4. destroy/hide the scene
    5. show run log
    6. identify

    Tasker in hung state...

    Ashish · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    I am reporting a situation where takser looks to be in a hung state.

    First my setup and environment:

    - Kindle fire HD 8 7th Gen Tablet, with google play installed.

    - Latest tasker version.

    Though this issue is not profile related(because the profile works on the same device 99% of the times and other devices too, and been using it since 2 years) but relates to takser/tasker service in general. I have an app profile , which i use to control how much my kid spends time on her lovely apps(games and youtube).

    Since about some time ago,

    read fingerprint action

    roizcorp · 0 · Posted

    As a user I would like Tasker to read fingerprint on demand and react to it by logic (registered fingerprint) by type (gesture or normal read) and by task (invoke any task). Yes , I know there is already the authenticate dialogue, but it uses the OS UI while I want only the action itself. Currently I'm using a 3rd party app to invoke task in Tasker.

    Web server so we could develop on computer

    roizcorp · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I use Tasker for almost everything, Tasker in fact is my OS, I keep my settings in Tasker rather than in the OS menus as they will be with me with any device or any Rom I will use.

    The most time consuming for me is to interact with the device and Tasker (Typing complex shell commands and navigate between the tasks and screens.

    I understand this is big, but I would want some way to connect my laptop to Tasker and use Tasker as WebApp (with mouse and hotkeys)

    AutoInput accessibility caused droping frames during each swipe

    Jackal Zhao · 0 · Posted

    If I open AutoInput accessibility, the system would become unresponsive, more specifically, it drop frames when I swipe. (I'm nor sure if I used the proper words) 

     

    I did some research, found something on an article https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/55585722 

     

    The article mentioned that the existence of AccessibilityInputFilter blocked the InputDIspatcher thread being awake. So the input event was put into next Vsync, which means the InputDispatcher won't follow the pace of InputReader, but the pace of Vsync. 

     

    There is a super snappy app called FooView, and some people says the Advanced function in accessibility would cause dropping frames. So normally people only open the Basic function in

    Accessing multiple indexes of an array

    Richard Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Frits van Bommel

    Suppose array %alphabet contains the values a,b,c,d,e. Currently if I want to access the first, third, and fifth I could write %alphabet(1) %alphabet(3) %alphabet(5), but this is a bit cumbersome as the number of entries I want increases.

    Some programming languages offer the ability to access multiple array indexes in one function, in Tasker this would look something like this:

    %alphabet(1,3,5) --> evaluates to a,c,e

    This would be especially useful when searching for array matches using %var(#?pattern) - you could use %var(%var(#?pattern)) to instantly get all members of %var() which match pattern.

    Recursive option in file modified event

    Lapo Falcone · 1 · Last reply by Moneta Mace

    It would be useful to have a recursive option in file modified event. This option would be used to guard not only the modification of a file in the specified folder, but also in the subfolder a of the folder and so on.

    Dynamic path in modified file event

    Lapo Falcone · 1 · Last reply by Lapo Falcone

    I'd like to be able to use a variable to identify the path to the folder I want to guard. At the moment this seems not to be possible, since if I use a variable with the name of the folder then the profile doesn't react to any event. It would be very useful!

    Variable-defined app state context

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    Traditional app state contexts work but are static: the only way to change the apps included is by opening Tasker's UI. The App changed event allows specification of included apps using a variable, but this is only an event, not a state.

    I would like a combination of the two: an app STATE context which activates only when the app name/package/whatever matches a text field where a variable may be used.

    Variable for the Enable Root Toggle of Run Shell Actions and Custom Settings

    agnostic-apollo · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    There should be a variable that can be set in place of the root toggle so that commands that are created and run dynamically can automatically set if root will be required or not. Moreover if projects are being shared with other people, some people might not need or want to run shell commands as root. This would make it easier to create those projects with like a global variable maybe. If the value is "1", then run with root, otherwise don't run with root.

    Text Size and Word Wrap of Shell Action

    agnostic-apollo · 2 · Last reply by agnostic-apollo

    There should be an option to change the text size of shell actions and also an option to disable word wrap. Writing multi-line scripts in shell actions is a mess with word wrap enabled and really hard to understand what is going on.

    Add the ability to move between actions within action editor UI

    SmartPhoneLover · 0 · Posted

    Hello Joao, I would like to request something that could be useful for some of us, overwall if we have many projects into Tasker (+1000 actions). It will help us to navigate between all the actions from a task, without the need of going back, and load the next/previous action again. It will also prevent loosing too much time (1-4 seconds) when Tasker has to load all the elements from UI editor, mainly for those phones that are not much powerfull as them would need to (CPU). So, below you have a picture as an example of what I'm talking

    XMLHttpRequest() and fetch() in Javascript(let) returns nothing sometimes

    Jason Lim · 3 · Last reply by Jason Lim

    I would first like to acknowledge that I might be getting something absolutely wrong here.

    The code below will have the following results in chrome (accounted for CORS):

    • results[0-8].fetch = "..." // contains something
    • results[0-8].xhttp = "..."

    but will have the following results in Tasker:

    • results[0-4].fetch = "" // undefined
    • results[0-4].xhttp = ""
    • results[5-8].fetch = "..."
    • results[5-8].xhttp = "..."

    Few things to note:

    • An observation will be that something is only returned if the URL doesn't end with "html" or a sever directory.
    • The results here are the same with a POST request too.
    • I currently have no workaround other

    Can we have the option to view run log time down to the MILLISECOND, instead of just to the second?

    thomas · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    A lot of the time I have tasks that I would like to time-optimize.  I would like to know which actions in the task are the slowest ones.  It would greatly improve my judgment to know how slow each action is in my tasks.

    The run log shows us the time each action happened, but sadly it only tells us the time down to the second.  NOT to the millisecond.

    PLEASE allow us to enable more exact timestamps to be shown on the run log.  For users like me who want a better understanding of each action's latency, this is

    Allow us to copy unreferenced variables into specific projects

    thomas · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Sometimes I have variables that for whatever reason might not be referenced anywhere AS FAR AS TASKER KNOWS.

    It is possible their references are formed programmatically, for example, and still being used in a project.

    Without the explicit reference, Tasker places the variable into the home folder.  It can't be placed into the folders where it's being programmatically summoned.

    I understand that I COULD create inane tasks in that project that reference these variables in the project they're used, but that adds task clutter to my increasingly bloated task list.  It would be cleaner to just be able to add
