    Have a loop count for Goto action

    Jason Cooper · 0 · Posted

    It would be helpful if the Goto action had a # of loops you could get. Default to 0=no limit, but lets say I want to go to the top of a task is a variable isn't set, but I only want it to do this loop 3 times. Currently I have to set up a variable set to 0, then add 1 every time and have the goto have an If Variable <4. It would be a lot easier if the goto could be set to have a limit.

    Create a setting that defaults "Continue Task After Error" box to always be checked

    Jason Cooper · 0 · Posted

    I cant think of any task where I dont want it to continue if an action errors. I think it would help to create a setting that defaults "Continue Task After Error" box to always be checked for all actions.

    The "Alarm Clock" event is not working for me, neither with nor without a label specified.

    I`m using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro on MIUI 12.0.2 with Android 10.

    Profile parameters

    Colin Hemming · 0 · Posted

    When setting entry/exit tasks for a profile, it would be fantastic to be able to set the values of par1/2 sent to the task being called. I often have many profiles that call the same task, but with the need to identify where the call came from. I currently have to create 1-liner tasks to call a common function with those parameters. While %caller can be used, it has to be laboriously parsed and makes manual tests even more fiddly.

    Alert > Popup Creates Scene Popup Conflict

    Mike Rubin · 3 · Last reply by Rich D

    Using the Alert > Popup creates a scene named "Popup".  This creates a conflict when trying to import any other project that also has a scene named "Popup".  Since scene names must be unique, no one can import my projects from Taskernet for this reason.   

      

    Perhaps create a scene with a random name that is unlikely to be in use elsewhere for Alert > Popup, or allow duplicate scene names across projects?

    Add label of next alarm within test next alarm action

    The label/name of the upcoming alarm (native Android alarm?) is missing, which would be a powerful option to filter and react on, within tasker.

    Element boundaries in Scenes

    Is it possible to make the interactive (tap/press) boundaries of elements to more closely reflect their actual shape rather than everything essentially being a square?

    More options in Mobile Network Type

    Nuno Ribeiro · 0 · Posted

    Hi João. In Mobile Network Type, is it posible and easy for you to add the options "2G And 3G And 4G and 5G" and "2G And 3G And 4G", in order to match with Samsung options?

    I have a profile that when mobile data is off it will change bith sims to 2G but when it is on, I want to have "2G And 3G And 4G and 5G" in one of the sims and I don't have that option, only "3G And 4G and 5G". "Auto" doesnt work for me.

    2G/3G/4G and 2G/3G/4G/5G iff added will be awesome

    I would like access to more musical sounds

    Bill DeWitt · 2 · Last reply by Colin Hemming

    I know you can find the right values to make beeps play tune. But I want different instrument What I want to end up doing is have tasker generate a series of tones in a pleasing voice so that instead of meaningless notification sounds, I can let it auto generate a code out of pentatonic notes to tell me what's going on. 

    Maybe sampling? Midi? Oh, a point there, I don't want to have it hooked up to a midi instrument, this is for walking around. Perhaps the midi driver for android you mentioned attached to the MIDI Play command.

    Dialogs Close Scenes

    When I show a scene and in that scene there is an action that opens an activity, it is closed

    But I found that if I create another sena that calls this action, I can use it correctly, but this could be implemented to avoid creating this scene to make this workaround

    Action clone: Clone on drag+drop

    Tortuosit of Tapiola · 0 · Posted

    Idea for extending the new Action Clone. This is in order to create cloned entries anywhere in the task.

    The new button could behave differently. As a toggle. If pressed, drag+drop of commands could copy instead of moving them.

    Additionally: if more commands are copied, just copy. If one is copied, open it.

    But the more I think about it... We can already directly drag, the area is configurable. Maybe a second drag area would make sense, which copies instead moves.

    Clipboard monitoring makes keyboard to glitch

    User · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi. As always, huge thanks for continuing developing Tasker. Want to report bug. Latest 5.15.3-beta, Android 11 (LineageOS 18.1).

    Steps to reproduce: 0. Important: bug "activates" only after some time after Tasker was launched, like few hours 1. Create single task with any single action which use %CLIP variable, e.g. make Tasker to monitor it (via workaround, yeah) 2. While typing anywhere mark text and press Copy / Cut, e.g. change clipboard 2.1 Even enough modify clipboard via shell: service call clipboard 2 s16 "text" 3. For a second *any* keyboard hides and appears again (shown on attached video) 4.

    Expand the Favorite Actions feature so that it can include the saving of Action parameters as part of the Favorite

    CICS Starter · 2 · Last reply by CICS Starter

    With the abundance of new options soon to be available for the Flash action, it has become even more obvious that there needs to be some way to provide user specifiable defaults for Action parameters. 

    One possible solution would be to expand the Favorite Actions feature so that it would include the saving of Action parameters as part of the Favorite. This feature should be available for all actions. That way the user can save any action as a Favorite along with its default parameters. The use of the favorite will be the same as now but when the Favorite

    Auto trim array elements (global, optional)

    Hi Joao,

    for readability or in unknown input, in Variable Set or Array Set, we often have elements with leading or trailing spaces:

    5, 23, 14.745 ,  12

    A very common technique we probably have to deal with, at least I do it this way, is to variable split with Regex (\s*,\s*). If array elements have been created with Array Set, we may need to do a Search/Replace of whitespace in the array elements.

    IDEA: Let Tasker trim leading and trailing whitespace from array variables on creation and assignment. This should be a global option and initially turned off, for

    Use emojis and text for icons

    Bertie Beck · 2 · Last reply by Bertie Beck

    Auto notification has three different icon options which can't use the same source, tasks have another. There are hundreds of emojis in keyboards now and the ability to use the same icon for a task and notification and notification status bar icon would be simple to use and look nice and consistent.

    Add Tertiary App and more

    Christian WS · 0 · Posted

    The Secondary App can be used in different contexts, double tap power button, bixby and now double-tap on the back of the device. As it stands, all of those options would trigger the same task.

    A solution would be to add a Tertiary and Quaternary App if the others are in use. And seeing how new android versions and manufacturers could add more contexts, it seems to me it would be wise to let the user toggle the number of Secondary Apps they have on their system. This would mean less dev work when, inevitably, a new context is added.

    Change the "active" task color to work better on greyscale

    Jonathan Moregård · 1 · Last reply by Colin Hemming

    I keep my phone on greyscale to make it less addictive. This makes it hard to see if a task/"task condition" is active (the green highlight) You can enable greyscale by Dev options -> Simulate color space -> monochromacy.

    Please change the color to make it stand out a bit more on greyscale. Or make it customizable.
