    follow launcher font size and style on "Task" widgets

    Peter Meiser · 0 · Posted

    Current, only "Task Shortcut" widgets follow the launcher font size and style, but not "Task" widgets.

    Could you please implement it?

    Ability to select a range of lines quickly.

    Fábio B. Quetz · 0 · Posted

    I would like to suggest adding a feature that would greatly facilitate the selection of several lines: when selecting a line and selecting another line, then make the selection of any interval between them. When you have a task with many lines, it is difficult to make the selection one by one.  Thankful

    Allow detection of Tasker as a foreground app as an "expert" option

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    Currently Tasker windows do not affect %WIN, and Tasker can not be chosen as an app context. This is a deliberate restriction to prevent endless loops and other issues.

    I propose providing an option to remove this restriction, akin to "expert" mode in preferences.

    Provide Capability To Encrypt Files Created With Tasker

    Pete · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Its great that Tasker can create files and backups, but due to potentially sensitive data that could be in the file or the backup it would be useful if Tasker could offer the option to encrypt that data so its protected while stored at rest.

    The option to encrypt always increases processing overhead so that should be a consideration when opting to enable the feature.

    The option to decrypt the file could be done within Tasker itself, but that would make that created file unable to be decrypted by anything other than Tasker.  Ideally an open source utility or industry

    Option for an exit confirmation popup

    I have exited tasker so many times with the back button on the wing screen. An option to add 'Are you sure? before exit would be great.

    CELLSRV Not Updating On LG V20 With Stock Android 7

    David White · 6 · Last reply by David White

    Hello. I have owned and used Tasker for years. I just got a new phone, LG V20 w/Android 7. This is a flagship phone and I am running stock (although systemless rooted) Android firmware. Unlike my last phone (Note 3, stock/rooted Android 4.4.2) Tasker is simply not updating the CELLSRV variable on the new LG phone. It always seems to report "unknown". I have tried enabling new cell api with no change. I have read posts from Pent that this can vary by ROM (specifically regarding CM Android) but I find it hard to believe that something like a flagship

    When adding new groups, insert the new group to the right of the group that was long clicked

    Noel Yap · 0 · Posted

    When adding new groups to help organize profiles, tasks, and scenes, the new profile is added all the way to the right. When dealing with many groups, the new group would have to be moved if there order of the groups were to be organized. Moving a group requires long-clicking then choosing to move it left it right. This is a pretty tedious process.

    Better would be to add the new group to the right of the group that was long-clicked. Allowing drag and drop off groups would also help.

    Have option for CRLF line end with write file

    Steve Waring · 0 · Posted

    This would avoid the need for a Javascriptlet

    var cret = "\r"

    and adding %cret at the end of write file data when append newline is ticked, or

    var crlf = "\r\n"

    and %crlf at the end of write file data.

    Better Built-In Image Selector

    Brett Mello · 0 · Posted

    Every time I try to choose an Icon for my Tasks, I can choose "Local Media". However, this always takes me to Android's default gallery, which we all know how good that is. Is there any way to change this. 

     

    For example:

    From within AutoTools configs, I have the option to choose ES File Browser among the many other options. This also allows me to import images from the Cloud or LAN.  When choosing an icon for a specific task, "Local Media" does not offer the same options in the gallery. I'm not sure this affects all Android default

    PHP parser similar to javascriptlet

    adomm420 · 0 · Posted

    This would be a great addition for someone who's very familiar with the PHP programming language and would save a lot of time, as well as would shrink down the tasker tasks for loops/cycles and many other thinks like date function, strtotime function and so on.

    Better design when doing animations in scenes

    Horrorbjgames · 0 · Posted

    Could have some way to make more beautiful animations in the scenes of the tasker because the effect of decreasing the size of the element is a bit strange when it is defined along with the action that moves the elements of the scene.

    It could be unlimited the time of action "get voice"

    Horrorbjgames · 0 · Posted

    Well, I wanted to do a voice text with the tasker but, it has a limit of up to 40 seconds. It could do something like having a button to proceed with the voice obtained and another to cancel, but also if it is not because something is uncertain by google then have a perception of the voice that continues when listening to the sound and when to get anything or the gift is too low to make it proceed.

    Add a toggle to animate the opening of Activities via Send Intent

    Tuur Lievens · 0 · Posted

    My basic android developer skills (followed a course in college) tell me you can add a animation when starting an activity (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2651360/how-to-provide-animation-when-calling-another-activity-in-android).

    Currently the activity pops into existence, which is fine for when you want to automate something in said activity. But one of the ways I use tasker is for (re-)adding shortcuts that OEMs sometimes remove (like the Google In-App search). I'd like to get as close to the indented experience and an animation would be nice.

    A share community easy to use like Workflow

    Z ZHANG · 2 · Last reply by Z ZHANG

    A use-to-use share community is helpful to guide the newcomers and maintain the vitality of the APP.

    However, it is inconvenient when you want to share your useful profile to others. Here are some common ways I saw on the internet:

    1. Record a video to tell others how to set a profile. I think this would hold back most people who just want to share their thoughts.

    2. Write down all the setting steps like this one: https://forums.androidcentral.com/android-apps/301540-tasker-lets-contribute-profiles.html

    3. Export profile and import profile. 

    I think Workflow on iOS has done a good job. as attached file. Click the button

    Allow fork and join of tasks

    Noel Yap · 0 · Posted

    It's sometimes useful to be able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously (eg one task may be updating some state in the background).

    For example, a Scene may be taking input for some duration and updating an expiry widget based on the duration input and the current time. But the time itself can be changing, too; it would be nice if the expiry widget can be updated when the current time changes.

    Network Access allows variable/array

    For the Network Access action, instead of picking apps from a list, would be nice if one can use a variable/array to specify the app(s). This way, we can allow or deny different apps based on conditions.

    Global variable for audio channer "BT Voice" is missing

    Willy · 0 · Posted

    I see that Tasker provides actions for the following audio channels / variables ...

    Alarm ...% VOLA Average ...% VOLM Notification ...% VOLN Ringer ...% VOLR System ...% VOLS In-Call ...% VOLC DTMF ...% VOLD BT Voice ... Could it be VOLB?

    I suppose it will not be very complicated to implement.

    Export plugins actions in kid-apps

    Maher Tayara · 0 · Posted

    I think you should make new optional protocol for plugins to allow giving something like modules to tasker when exporting kid-apps (not always)

    And don't make it essential for every single action... so it will be easy for developers to implement

    Plugins developers may offer it as purchase from store

    I know it's a hard or maybe something semi-impossible but this will make plugins really useful in kidapps as they are not at all now..

    Root for internal File Manager

    Robin · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hi, 

    The internal Tasker file Manager has no Access (on Oreo and maybe other Android Versions) to /system or /sys. I think this is because it is not using root to Access it.

    So it would be nice to get a Feature like that to watch System files (Tasker functions are "File opened/closed")

    Thanks
