    The ability to use OR in the context!

    Ryan Wilson · 19 · Last reply by Cris Andre

    Creating profiles that basicly do the same thing can take up alot of space. So I would like a way to put a OR in the context. Such as wifi connected OR  Bluetooth connected do this or that.

    Or maybe even something in the task such as a if statement have a OR statement. I know there kind of is but would like to have that option alone in Tasker.

    Scene layouts

    John Doe · 8 · Last reply by Tom Bruno

    Creating a scene for several device is just a pain, the activity layout should scale according the screen size of target device, it shouldn't use any absolute layout or fixed aspect ratio.

    Fingerprint sensor event

    Lssong99 · 7 · Last reply by Andy

    Add a fingerprint event so Tasker can respond to fingerprint scanner from any screen.

    This will enable things like turning off screen with fingerprint sensor, as well as execute any task with a touch of finger.

    Better have options to respond only to registered finger, as well as gestures (fingerprint swipt down... Etc.)

    Speakerphone action not working on many devices

    Robert L Ryan · 11 · Last reply by João Dias

    Many users are reporting that the speakerphone action is broken. I know that it never worked on my Motorola Droid Turbo 2 with Nougat or my Samsung Galaxy S9 with Oreo.

    OnePlus and Pixel devices are also experiencing this issue.

    Allow renaming variables to be as convenient as renaming tasks.

    Noel Yap · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    As development progresses, refactoring, especially through renaming tasks and variables, becomes important. When a task is renamed, Tasker does what it can to rename all references to that task. It would be really helpful if the same happened for variables.

    improved debugging

    Lynda Howell · 3 · Last reply by Jim Becker

    I'd like to see improved debugging options.  Like many people, I use Flash actions to check on progress of a complex task.  But those extra Flash actions have to be manually turned off or deleted or they clutter up the screen when the task is actually running.  And then they have to be recreated or turned back on when I need to tweak or troubleshoot the task. 

    I'd love to see another Alert type (or an option on the Flash action) that displays only in debug mode, and then an option at the task/profile level to turn debugging mode on/off

    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

    Grouped tasks.

    R. Tyson Vance · 3 · Last reply by Mike Rubin

    I have several groups of tasks that work together I would like to be able to select them as a group and have that group collapsible for easier management of tasks and make for a cleaner default task screen.

    Additionally it might be nice to be able to turn on or off all grouped tasks rather than having to use several on and off tasks.

    send emails without request

    luca malatesta · 13 · Last reply by João Dias

    I think it is really useful to insert a function to send emails without request (being able to configure the various smtp parameters), now I can do it with an external plugin but it would be better to have it integrated.

    Element Create scene action loses its content after opening it again

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I want to report a bad behavior related to the Element Create action, under Scene category.

    The problem is when the user loads that action again, after being created and edited, all the text content disappears. So, even you have an Anchor action where to save the current configuration (to be edited if needed), it has to be created again.

    Note: A demo is included as an attached file.

    Grace period for sensible state contexts to activate/deactivate

    Flavio Delgado · 6 · Last reply by adomm420

    An option in seconds the state must remain in the same condition until it finally (de)activates.

    This will make profiles more reliable and easier to use, instead of adding waits and conditions in tasks.

    Net: BT/Wifi connected

    Phone: Signal strenght

    Sensor: Magnetic field

    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

    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.

    sliders in Tasker actions difficult to control

    Malcolm · 0 · Posted

    Could the sliders (SeekBars) used by Tasker actions be improve or made customizable in settings? I find it impossible to use the press-and-drag method -- they just don't move, and the click method is very hit-and-miss.  Using the arrows is often impracticable when the value range is large since the arrows change the value by only +/-1.  Also in some cases a "logarithmic" (actually "exponential") scale would be more appropriate, e.g. for setting a Beep tone frequency where getting somthing in the middle of the audio spectrum on a linear scale that goes from ~0 to 16000 is extremely awkward.

    Enhanced Run Log

    Anthony C · 2 · Last reply by virtual

    Can we expand on the run log please? Currently the run log fails to do the most important aspect which is to tell you what exactly went wrong. It shows you the task that failed, but you can't view the error. Often times running the task/profile again makes it go through without a problem. It would be great if we could tap on the errored action and view the error that task showed just like it does when it fails in the edit screen. Furthermore if we can actually see the Plugin task name it would be very helpful as
