    Change folder for Tasker-Backup in Google Drive

    Cesar Bernard · 13 · Last reply by vbs

    It would be beneficial if wen could move the Tasker-Backup anywhere in Google Drive. At the moment it's on the start folder of "My Drive" and it can't be moved. Else a new Tasker-Backup-Folder will be created.

    Tasker to register for default SMS app

    Ian Grody · 5 · Last reply by Sam Cook

    Since Tasker has been green lighted for SMS/MMS, would it be permitted if Tasker could register as default SMS/MMS App?

     

    I suggest this idea as with the SmsManager class/objects, we could control SMS/MMS much more. This would include building our own SMS/MMS apps, backing up/restoring, organising and filtering as well as blocking/spam filtering. It would also allow us to see hidden short codes from those dodgy SMS spammers.

     

    Essentially, Tasker would just need to register it for now, rather than you make anything forward facing for it. Java could then do the rest. I for one would start

    Add an option to easily move the list items

    Niyon S V · 3 · Last reply by Dave Wiard

    I have a suggestion that when we rearrange any list item, for example some tasks list it can't be dragged and dropped to the desired place easily. If we tap & hold any item and move to some position it doesn't move to the place which we intended to move. This happens to profiles, tasks, actions,.. etc. we have to move everything up and down many times to get them in desired position.

    If you add a 'drag & drop' icon, that appears when we start to move an item, it'd be so helpful. If possible, when you get enough

    For "actions' conditioners" that use the same variables or references, show what those actions' conditioners are inside task view for every actions' conditioner that is connected to the same variable or other same non-variable condition

    anonymized · 0 · Posted

    By "Actions' Conditioners" I mean If/Then/Else, AND/OR, etc.

    And for those who have smaller screen maybe could be set from preferences this to be thru tapping or sliding in some particular way, and so in task view the actions' conditioners indicates with a number, as to how many connections it has (same conditioners elsewhere, relating to same variables, or both), and so if it has more than 0, when tapping or sliding on it in some particular way, then could see overlay pop-up of all the actions' conditioners that sharing the same variables or other non-variable conditioners, and perhaps with

    Tasker Search selections

    Jim Becker · 0 · Posted

    Just like in the log where the user can select Profiles, Tasks and/or Actions; it would be great to have the same selection buttons in Search. The use case would be a more granular search for cases when you know the Task name or that the variable is used in a Profile without having to scroll through all of the actions which use the variable.

    Allow Music Play to start from times that aren't just integer seconds. Right now it only lets you start from discrete one-second intervals.

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    I'm working on a scene where I'm going to need to be able to play a sound file from specific starting points, and being able to start from a particular time in the audio file is great, but currently it only lets me start at 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and so on.  And I'm unable to start it at 1.5 seconds for example.

    I really need that increased level of precision for the project I'm working on.  I don't see why it should be limited to one-second intervals.  Please let us specify down to the millisecond!

    Separate "on touch down" and "on touch UP" events for when the user taps an item in a scene!

    thomas · 1 · Last reply by Brent Barrand

    Currently, there are "tap" and "long tap" options.  But it's impossible to trigger any tasks until the user's finger has released the button.

    I have some specific ideas that require actions to happen immediately when a button in the scene is touched, not just when it's released.  I'd also like to be able to check whether the button/image/item is still being pressed, and trigger an "exit action" when the button is released (the current "tap" feature is basically an exit action for a button, so that's already there; just not an "enter action" for buttons)

    I understand that it'd be

    HTTP Get is not allowing username contains @

    Currently HTTP get allows username and password specified as username: password@website.com, but username can not contains @, which is unfortunately limiting it.

    Ideal way would be to add new field for credentials.

    It would be like creating a role in Java, but to perform custom actions with Tasker design with elements generally used when creating Tasker actions doing almost as Perform Task only with more customizations.

    Heads up for Android Q

    https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/08/background-apps-can-no-longer-launch-activities-in-android-q-beta-3/

    FYI:

    Tasker may have to ask users to disable this feature in developer options by turning on "Allow background activity starts." This is still a beta, so it's unclear how the restriction will take shape for the final release.

    Preferences interactions behaviors make it too easy to mistakenly change a setting while scrolling

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    In Preferences, the items with drop down menus (for example "List Item Dragging" under UI, or "Accelerometer" under Monitor)

    If you touch one of them, it opens the drop-down menu and allows you to select one of the options without lifting your finger.

    This is good for quickly changing settings with a single drag, but it also introduces a problem for scrolling.

    Namely, it makes it too easy to mistakenly change a setting when all you were trying to do was scroll up or down.  All it takes is for the user to start scrolling by touching one of the

    Dragging and reordering tasks, scenes, profiles, and actions is buggy and also hard to tell where it will land

    thomas · 3 · Last reply by I have issues

    I made a short video to illustrate the problems.  Please view it!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z86c_crDCyk

    There are two problems with dragging and dropping items:

    1. Dragging and dropping an item between two other items SHOULD place it between them.  But it does not.  It doesn't work properly.  It often either doesn't register any change in position, or it puts the item in the wrong place altogether.  Here is another video demonstrating the problem; in this one, the dragging doesn't do ANYTHING for the first few attempts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKYqYJBBMy4

    2. There should really be some UI to indicate where a dragged item will land, similar

    A way to vastly improve debugging (also regarding problems that current ways of debugging have)

    anonymized · 1 · Last reply by thomas

    When complexity increases, meaning when a lot of sensors are included and they all talk to each other to reach certain outcomes, then as to what is going on when it operates there is little to no feedback as to what is needed, in order to understand what is going on.

    So with such, there's little to no help, for instance, from RunLog. The best I know is to add voice feedback all over the place to try to make sense of the flows, but I figured it would be great to dramatically improve Tasker with greatly helpful feedback system,
