    AutoNotification - a Gmail notification button for "Read & Star"

    Ryan · 0 · Posted

    If it's easy to implement this, I'd love for it to be one of the button options.

    A seemingly more difficult but more user-customizable option would be for users to be able to assign an arbitrary number of actions to a single button (through checkboxes instead of radio buttons, e.g.) and then name the button.

    Add option to the "List Files" to do its job recursively. To do this currently you need to use a bunch of For Loops, and it ain't pretty

    "Trial over" with degoogled phone, but I already bought it

    Ryan Delaney · 3 · Last reply by helprace.ald5o

    I've been using Tasker on this device for a couple years. I purchased it many years ago and installed it via Aurora Store. Now, this device is EOL and I'm trying to migrate my Tasker profiles to a new phone. However, suddenly tasker won't run because my "trial" has expired. This is aggravating because I just want to export my profiles.

    In this thread Joao said:

    Tasker's Google Play version works by quering the Google Play store if it's licensed. If Google Play is not present then that will happen. You can always switch to the direct-purchase version that you

    Old workaround possible for muting

    psisquared2 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    On my Fairphone 4, Android 11, I ran into the known issue with Sound Mode -> Mute that you reported to Google in https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205205662 (you can add the Fairphone 4 to the list of affected phones). I furthermore noticed that this old workaround on Reddit reliably sets the phone to Silent on my device:

    1. Set DND Mode "No interruptions"
    2. (Immediately) set DND Mode "Priority"
    3. Wait 50 ms
    4. Set DND Mode "Allow All"

    Not sure if it works on the other phones, but I found it worth mentioning.

    SPLIT MODE

    JSO · 0 · Posted

    I am thinking it could be stellar to have in Tasker a split mode (two windows), so we could easily copy/past actions from a task to another, nevermind the project ! (as in a file manager app, like  SolidExplorer app if you know this one )

    Regarding the "Notify" action...

    Alan Rosen · 6 · Last reply by Alan Rosen

    Hi, thanks for all you do. I LOVE Tasker! Regarding the "Notify" action, would it be possible to change the parameters of the action so that a variable itself can be shown in the notification panel, rather than just an icon which then has to be dragged down to see the variables's text? In my case, I'm trying to create a simple app to show the current local temperature (itself) in the notification panel. Thanks again, Alan R

    "Perform Task" return does not write to task variable

    Tortuosit of Tapiola · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/wj17wy/perform_task_return_not_overwriting_task_variable/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

    "Problem: A "Perform Task" return value does not write directly into a task variable, it should absolutely be able to, IMO. Or is it intended for some reason? I would guess it is the same for project/profile variables. 

    So currently I have to name the return %somename, then var set %taskvar=%somename.

    Note that the "overwrite" and "replace on passthrough" are unrelated here, we're not talking about variable passthrough, but function call/return."

    Anomaly on taking into account calendar event

    B@rberousse · 7 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi there

    I created a profile that performs tasks on a calendar entry ("Telework" in this case). The event is recurrent in my calendar. The profile works perfectly.

    However, sometimes I have to change the date of one (or more) of my teleworking days.

    In this case, the scheduled tasks continue to run on the days when there is no more telework in my calendar and, conversely, do not run on the days when I have moved the telework.

    Any idea on solving the problem?

    Thanks in advance.

But when I open the autoremote extension options it keeps showing 'Error getting personal key. Refresh this page to try again. Please contact the developer if the problem persists'.

    Scene use of a temporary variable as Element Default value

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by Håkan Sjörling

    I have a scene containing a Number Picker element but I have found that I cannot set the default value using a temporary variable, as the keyboard only lets me enter digits. It would be good if a normal keyboard be displayed when selecting the default value field. This might apply to other element types as well. Thanks for listening.

    music track changed - trigger also when music is started in Tasker

    schrott97 · 0 · Posted

    the profile music track changed works when the change is due to an external media player. When you play music with Tasker using  the "Music Play" task, the profile does not trigger (and therefore the song metadata are not available).

    Stop multiple tasks with a timer or a kill function and limit number of parallel tasks

    A. · 1 · Last reply by Sunny D

    Hi João, 

    I kindly ask you to implement a feature to stop looping tasks or tasks running indefinitely long to stop after a specific period. (Just the other day I had a task running for more than two thousand seconds, although it usually just takes seconds.

    In addition, I would like to ask you to limit the number of parallel tasks to a given number. I need more than one or two tasks but only a few of the same tasks running at the same time. For the time being, I can only say to stop the current or the new

    [ Sockets ] - Add Profiles and Actions to use sockets in Tasker

    GlitchYou · 0 · Posted

    Could add sockets to give an extra extension to receive events and kind of allow the user to create new events

    I think it could have a profile with the event type (optional)

    And it returns maybe even in %evtprm

    I would also need an action to start/stop the execution socket with the address (optional with localhost by default) the port and other fields I may have forgotten

    With all the data that the user sent from any device by some language or by some action like send sockets to send with the event type and the information to be

    Tasker battery drain Samsung Galaxy S21 Android 12

    Hi!

    I'm having problems with Tasker draining battery. I use tasks for auto sync every hour, Cell near for wifi, auto sync on when power any and a gesture to start a app fhen flip phone. 

    For some reason after few days, battery starts draining faster. When I disable Tasker, exit and remove it from background, start Tasker again and enable it, everything works again. Then after few days battery again starts to drain faster. When I do the described steps, it works again a few days and so on.

    I notice the battery drain in the morning, after charging
