    Tasker's extended functionality during boot

    Mmerror · 0 · Posted

    Hi

    I tried to create a home screen launcher by a scene and I can tell literally it was far better than any android launcher I've Nova launcher prime which supposed to be the best for customisation but it fell a part in front of the scene capabilites the only issue that let me drop the continuity of the whole thing was the boot time of Tasker the scene won't shows up until tasker receive the boot complete event which really takes long that makes the phone without any icons or launcher.

    Complex custom conditions

    Basically, a profile can only have a few state conditions, and the only available logical conjunction between them is AND. I understand why editing anything more complex in that editor field would be difficult. Which is why I'm suggesting a new feature called custom conditions.

    These would live on their own tab like variables. When you add a new condition, you'd first have to declare a name for it and then you'd be brought to an editor similar to the task editor.

    In the top level of this editor you could add the basic logical conjunctions: AND, OR and XOR.

    Safer "clear all variables"

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    The variable clear action has an option for "clear all variables", but no secondary option to clear only local variables. It would be great if ticking "clear all variables" would show another check box for "local variables only". Ideally that should be ticked by default!

    Currently it is too easy to accidentally wipe out all of your global variables.

    Add indicator to show active profiles

    Alexander Groß · 0 · Posted

    The current profile list implementation makes the text of active profiles green. While this works with profiles that are named with text, it fails as soon as you use emojis as profile names. I prefer emojis because it shortens the text of the pull-down notification. (João uses the same naming convention.)

    The screenshot shows my profile list. There are 4 active profiles. Can you tell which? ;-)

    It would be great if active profiles would get another visual indication if they are active: either a green dot in front of the profile text/emoji or a greenish background tint would work

    Option to toggle Tasker's use of metered connections

    iodidi · 1 · Last reply by Kasdif

    An option in Tasker settings, that toggles whether Tasker itself can use metered network connections, could be very useful.

    So, if the option "Allow Tasker to use metered network connections" is in the off position, Tasker itself will only use non-metered networks.

    For instance, I have a profile that uses the 'GD Upload' action every other day to upload a backup file, which is about a gigabyte. Since my mobile data limit for the whole month is 1 gigabyte, if at the time of the upload there is some issue with my wifi connection, the upload will use up my

    Two ideas for the "List dialogue" action

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    1) Implement an easier way to add, remove, and organize things added to the list as an alternative to listing them all on one line followed by commas. A system that is similar to the menu element for scenes. Maybe even add the option to place icons next to each item in the list if the user so chooses. And to that end, maybe even add an indexing option that numbers all the things in the list to sort from in the idea below.

    2) An optional sort option that can be checked so that when the dialogue is showed,

    Variable add and Variable subtract

    Craigs List · 1 · Last reply by Thenzkt

    Hi,

    Good day! I find "Variable Add" and "Variable Subtract" very useful especially the wrap around feature of them. It would be great if both ends are changeable as there are cases where the bottom number is not 0. For instance, if I could set the wrap around to be a range instead such as "1 to 7", "1 to 31", or "%par1 to %par2". I believe it would have greater flexibility if this is the case.

    Thank you

    Add a dedicated action for audio routing

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hello Joao,

    I would like to ask you if a dedicated action to reroute audio from one channel to another could be included on future Tasker releases, if possible.

    The idea comes from the SoundAbout app, and my task where I have managed to do a basic routing using the Multimedia audio channel. (by now)

    As a reference to the task:

    Detect (changes to) status bar colour

    Adam Benjamin · 0 · Posted

    Sometimes when displaying scenes or web screens, it's useful to know whether the status bar is 'light' or 'dark'. While you can do find out using AutoInput's screen capture action, it's not very reliable or efficient, flashes a somewhat distracting black bar, and can't be used to detect changes between the two states.

    SSH support can make Tasker more powerful

    Jackal Zhao · 2 · Last reply by John Ahmad

    Tasker is very powerful now, but certainly there are still many tasks Tasker can't do. Such as using ffmpeg converting a video, compressing a png image, run a python script, rotate a video, download a youtube video, etc. 

    It is so good that tasker can run Shell Code to use some command line tools that android supports. But the limitation is that android shell can not install  other powerful command line tools if you have no root permission. 

    Yet, there is another app called Termux( a terminal tool ) can run many Command Line Tools , such as : FFmpeg,

    Encrypted backups

    Ralph · 1 · Last reply by Ralph

    As of now, tasker backups are stored in XML format and is naked. It would be great if it is encrypted or at least locked, below are my suggestions:

    • Encryted XML content with a key like RSA + optional passphrase
    • Zip the file and lock it with a passphrase

    No need to grant them all, at least our setup are locked.

    Please also force us to use strong passphrases. 

    JSON format would be great too since it would be smaller (I think) in size than XML format thus making the encryption or zip locking process a little bit faster

    Tasker and Autotools feedback

    Environment

    I'm using Tasker v2.9.3.beta and Autotools v2.2.3 on android 10 MIUI.

    Problem (bug probably)

    I used the Autotool SSH action, which should return the a result after sending a command using ssh. The problem is it either return an error, nor a result, the result variable is empty. The same ssh command ran in a normal terminal has the expected result. I recorded a video for this.

    Suggestions

    I'd like to suggest that two actions should be integreted to tasker:

    • SSH

    • File dialog

    SSH

    For many people, SSH is a really unreplaceable and important tool,
