    Scene "Create Element" Currently Doesn't Allow Actions

    Tasker Pro · 2 · Last reply by JasonYate

    Currently when using the "Create Element" action to add an element to an existing scene - there's no way/place to put any Actions for Tap or Long Tap, etc.

    For example the first element type listed in the drop-down menu of "Create Element" is "Button". However it will be a button that does nothing because there's no place to specify the Actions for it ;)

    Manuel focus for the « take picture »

    Nicola · 0 · Posted

    On my previous phone (moto G3), when I set infinity focus on “Take picture” that work really great. But on lot of new phone I tested, infinity focus mode on the take picture feature make blurry photos. 

    After some search I undertending that the range on the focus is no limear. So for exemple if we define the begin of the focus range at 0 and the end at 1000 : 0 focus on a medium point, 250 on infinity and 1000 on the nearest point. 

    So it will be very useful to have a manual focus paramètre where we

    Edit manifest of Kid App

    Agraetz83 · 0 · Posted

    I'd like to be able to edit the manifest of exported Kid Apps. This way I could remove permissions I don't want Tasker to request or add intents.

    I used to use the Notification clicked event in my apps but had to stop using it because Tasker would add the accessibility service permission to my app and there is nothing I can do about it. I don't need nor want this permission because I only read notification clicked events of notifications put up by my app. I was hoping there'd be a solution in time when the accessibility service permission

    Can you please add ability to add drop shadow to any element when creating a scene?

    improve file system explorer for file/dir selection or allow user to use a third party one

    Macadamia Owl · 0 · Posted

    Its hard to read and not very useful especially for low vision person. If possible find a solution for:

    • Icons, font are too small,
    • colors not well choosen,
    • no preview for pictures,
    • no sorting or searching option
    • no ability to choose number of rows/columns or setting view as a list.

    Or allow user to choose favourite file explorer

    Create a Tasker Clipboard Manager

    Rich D · 0 · Posted

    This would be a huge help in editing. It would act like one of the many clipboard apps except it would contain tasker actions. So you could make folders to keep all of your commonly used actions and of course have access to recently cut actions. You could also include the other feature request and have the ability to save and paste just the "IF" parameter of a action.

    Better documentation on back up

    Rich D · 0 · Posted

    Currently there is  no help text "anywhere" for the correct method to back up data for install on new device. Both the android back up and Tasker's back up should have some "Very Clear" help text on how to get your Tasker data to a new device or just save it for a fresh install on the current device. It should be noted what is and is not backed up with each method. IE currently global variables and all saved projects, profiles, tasks, scenes in there respective folders are not saved in the Tasker Back up. I do not know

    Support Advanced Messaging (RCS)

    Glenn Wood · 5 · Last reply by Florian Vincent

    Newer Android phones have "Advanced Messaging" which isn't recognized as SMS or MMS messages so Tasker is not able to capture or react to these events.  Would like to have Tasker support this new message type.  Samsung Galaxy S8 and S9 phones on ATT in US support this feature. See ATT info here: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1062086

    Change Scenes Seekbar to Material Design

    Most elements in scenes have been updated to Material Design, but the seekbar has been left out and its feelings are you. Please update the seekbar to match MD and the rest of the scene elements. Thanks!

    New Global Variable %SCENES to List All Scenes Created (visible or not)

    Tasker Pro · 2 · Last reply by Joe Cornelius

    Right now there's variables for current Tasks running (%TRUN) as well as Profiles Active (%PACTIVE), Profiles Enabled (PENABLED), etc.

    However - there's no Global Variable that contains a list of all Scenes currently 'created' - meaning they're active, whether showing or not.

    So I am putting forth a request for a new Glboal Vairable %SCENES to contain the name of all active Tasker Scenes. Then using any of the names in this list a "Query Scene" action can be run to ascertain if it is visible, hidden, etc.

    Ability to show maximum-width Task Names when adding Tasks to a Profile

    Tasker Pro · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Right now when a device is in Portrait mode and a Task needs to be added to a Profile - the menu that pops up truncates Task names since the menu is only maybe half the screen width.

    There should be an option to have that menu extend the full width of the screen so the most characters as possible of the Task name can be displayed.

    Right now Tasker just randomly cuts characters and replaces them with "..."

    Event that fires wifi is turned off

    Peter Andersson · 3 · Last reply by Scott Almond

    Event that fires wifi is turned off.

    When I'm just out of range on wifi so that no data can be transmitted but the phone still thinks im connected, I often turn the wifi off but then I forget to turn it back on. 

    With this I could create a task that would detect the turn off then wait 30 minutes and turn it back on again.

    Automate XML backup

    Pete Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Pete Kemp

    A way to automatically export certain Project/Task/Scenes as XML to SD to allow for custom backup to cloud/FTP.

    The amount of times I've lost useful, complicated projects because my tasker backups are out of date is painful :(

    Option to disable Display Off Monitoring

    Agraetz83 · 0 · Posted

    At the moment tasker only allows to increase the display off monitoring interval to 9999 seconds (~2,8h). I'd like to disable it entirely or better yet take FULL control which profiles are allowed to wake the device and which aren't.

    Background: I've got an exported kid app which is supposed to wake the device at predefined times. This is absolutely critical. There isn't anything else that should be done, if the user isn't actively using the device. Now Doze works like this: if an app wakes the device, it's blocked for another 9 minutes from waking the device again. If

    Navigate into MicroSD and OTG for file operations

    Shane Duchock · 0 · Posted

    I would like more options for storage.  Backup to external MicroSD, OTG, or even cloud support would be nice. If the device becomes unbootable, external storage would be the only way to salvage a Tasker database.  Or if the device is lost, cloud storage would be the only hope.  Titanium Backup has this and it has bailed me out in 2 devices.

    "Favorite Action" Toolbar to Quick-Add an Action

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    There should be a swipe-in icon toolbar (from the right side for example) or some other configuration where a user can choose often used actions, and assign them an icon, and then click to instantly add the action and go to its configuration screen.

    So rather than going into the Action list and having to click the categories, or even have to start typing the Action's name in the "Filter" field - this can quickly pop in whatever actions the user sets in the menu.

    Even something like "Variable Set". Click the Variables category all the actions look so similar

    copy and paste If criteria

    Lynda Howell · 0 · Posted

    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.
