Ping action can get a delay to a website, so we can use that to test if the network (like a wifi you connected) is connected to the Internet, but when the network is not connected to the Internet, the Ping action won't stop for quit a few seconds.

So here is the suggestion, add timeout to this action, if the ping time has last for more than the timeout we have set (say 500ms), then continue the task.

Please, add feature to format these built-in variables

%TIME hours, minutes, seconds, separator, sequence, format of hours

%DATE year, month, day, separator, sequence, format of year and month

LG's Dual Screen V50 and upcoming G8x could use a little love. "Second Display On/Off, "Second Display Connected/Removed" (ie, Dual Screen Case Accessory Attached), and "Dual Display Case Closed/Opened/Opened 360°" would be helpful event triggers, along with the ability to specify if an event should trigger if the conditions are met on either screen, or on a specific screen. The Device can tell when any of these conditions are met, but there are no relevant event triggers that I can find in the Tasker Dialogues. Additionally the ability to target a specific screen when committing an action would be nice.

Hi,

I'm interested in seeing some updates to the icon system in Tasker App Factory. Apps since Oreo or Pi have a new icon standard. The "legacy" icon is still in use for earlier versions. The new standard, and the method of including icons in Android Studio, is to use a BG layer and a foreground layer with transparency. Two PNG's would be provided, and perhaps also a legacy PNG provided.

(The current icon configuration might not need too much modification to suit that last purpose, with the new icon config being "added" to the setup.)

I put up an

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.

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.
