- showing running tasks, active profiles and active variables with name of project - option to kill task

Please add or bring back encryption in tasker

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

Most of the time when I press a button on an AutoNotification, part of the button's action is to dismiss the notification. However there is quite a noticeable lag between pressing the button and notification removal, since the process has to go from AN, to Tasker, through a task, and back to AN. On my Samsung s5 this takes a couple of seconds, but I'm sure it would still noticeable on newer devices too.

I propose an additional boolean option for each notification button: "Dismiss notification on button press"

The behaviour would be to send the specified command

It be would awesome if the Vars/Variables tab is accessible in the Task Edit menu (may it be through swiping from the right/left or in any available way). Not only that it would help a lot of users which are fond of using multiple variables inside a task such as myself but it can also help in saving time in creating a complex task by checking the current value of the variables in the task without exiting the menu.

I know that the Send Intent action is for advanced users but because it does not facilitate their creation with a button to show a list of intent patterns used in apps as Android.intent.action. (VIEW | MAIN | GET_CONTENTAND) he data such as date, extras, package, class and improve productivity when creating it is easy to end up forgetting something like that. I know that the plugins that make it easy to work this, to be sincere I think I'm very boring to make the user ending having to install several plugins to use with one or two actions if the

I use a local work profile provided by Shelter for apps I need sandboxed for whatever reason. Unfortunately those apps don't show up in the list of apps for enter/leave profiles and things like AutoNotification just list resultant effects with a blank associated app (still works fine via title/text match though).

Option for state context profiles to stop enter or exit task as soon as the conditions are changed and start executing the other. 

For example an enter task is running and the profile conetext is changed then the enter task is stopped and exit task is run at once, and again on satisfying context exit task is stopped and enter task is run.

Right now to do this the task has to be named and a stop action has to be added at the beginning of other. But doing this would reduce the clutter from naming the tasks.

It would be helpful to pass app names or packages as variable to do task on them.

Your case for reverting the fix was that it messed with the UI of the Volume Up / Down Indicator. Which, is a good point. BUT - that's only inconvenient on mobile, not on Android TV (it still happens but it's not that inconvenient - though Aaron has a fix for that as well below). Turning Accessibility on for Android TV basically breaks the Homescreen and is not even usable making any accessibility features almost useless on any app.

My profile called "TuneIn Radio" is activated when the app TuneIn Radio is open.

The linked task is set to de-activate my "Start Spotify" profile, so these 2 do not collide.

-

Tasker seems to only sense the TuneIn Radio app when it is in the foreground though.

If it's in the background, or if the screen is off. Then Tasker runs the exit task, which is to enable the Spotify profile again.

Just to have said it. My "Start Spotify" profile and the tasks which disables and enables this profile works fine. It's just the part of telling Tasker that the TuneIn

Simple idea. Most people may not know of this site to goce feedback for tasker or add in their ideas. Be nice if there was a button somewhere in tasker that would bring you to this site. 

I have a task that reads a file and uses regex to to get some data, but the file is located in root directory. 

Adding option to access root files to read will help, right now i have to copy the file to sdcard and read it.

Plz add this functionality.

Like the title says, a way to see all the currently active profiles without browsing every single project 

doesn't really have to be a tab, anything that lists them

Yea, like that.

Anytime there's a local variable name present anywhere in an If/The/Else statement - the red/green indicator will never EVER light up correctly.

Including and even when using the step-Play icon to go through the Task step-by-step.

Therefore the red/green indicator should never show up whenever a local variable name is present in the comparison. It just creates clutter and confuses people newer to Tasker.

For those people who have used Tasker for a while - although we've become accustomed to just ignoring it, with a solution so simple, that shouldn't have to be the case.

I guess the ultimate suggestion

After a while of using Tasker and accumulating many Profiles - most folks end up with a mix of user-named Profiles along with Tasker-named (which are un-named) Profiles.

Those un-named Profiles don't show up in %PENABLED or %PACTIVE and cause a bunch of other issues.

There should be an option to indicate un-named Profiles when viewing the list in the Profiles Tab.

After discussing in a thread on reddit the most popular (and simple) option idea was to put Tasker-named Profiles in italics in the Profiles List.

Doing so could of course be an option in Preferences.

At least on some devices the action "Play Ringtone" does not stop playing the ringtone until Tasker is disabled or quit.

The action "Play Music" is not always a good alternative because it changes %MTRACK which can be used to trigger music playing causing unwanted profiles to become active.

So an action to stop the ringtone playing would be necessary or the ringtone should stop playing by itself after one loop or a configurable time.

Root use only, but apply a firewall for intents. This can implicitly block, allow and log all intents sent and received on Android and apps.

Thank you.

• Using the Element Value action on a slider, with the scene visible, fails to activate the Value Selected event task. The documentation clearly states that changing the slider value with this action should activate the event task.
• The text for the indicators does not scale with screen resolution, making them practically useless. On my device they look like periods.
• There is no way to change the color or width of the line the thumb slides on. Sky blue isn't always the best choice.
• There is no obvious way to make a vertical slider.
• During touch movement, the slider value does not
