    Chop Gesture

    I'd like a "chop" gesture, like the double-chop gesture Motorola uses for toggling the torch.  Similar to the action you would use with a small hatchet, or bouncing a hammer off the head of a nail.  Each "chop" is a short, abrupt, single shake down and back up.

    The gesture should have settings for:

    1. Sensitivity (how aggressive and/or fast the chop must be) 

    2. Number of "chops".

    The current "shake left to right" gesture doesn't work as a good replacement.

    "Add to Home screen" for tasks

    Amit Kotlovski · 3 · Last reply by Gan

    I use the KISS launcher which is a minimalistic take on launchers. No icons on the page except a bottom row of "favourites", and a search bar that searches installed apps, contacts, settings, etc. When using browser apps I can select "Add to Home screen" and that website is added as a "Desktop shortcut" which makes it available in the launcher search results. It would be great to have Tasker add tasks to the Home screen in this fashion! Widgets, btw, are not a good fit as the widget support is minimal (can add only one at a time, it takes up

    Ability to choose which camera on the rear to use to take a picture

    That guy · 0 · Posted

    I have 3 cameras on the rear of my phone. I'd like to choose which one tasker uses to take photos.  That way I can set my phone up to take different kinds of shots underwater. Also being able to lock the focus to a given distance would be nice as auto doesn't work well under water.

    Gestures and shake actions broken

    Trac Fone · 2 · Last reply by Chis

    Across multiple phones and Tasker versions, I have never found shake and gestures usable - either the false positive or false negative rate is much too high or it simply triggers the action when I'm positive it couldn't possibly have been performed.

     

    One consistent bug I have noticed is that shake actions trigger when I pick the phone up off my desk after it's been motionless for a while. Sometimes when performing a gesture, the action starts triggering over and over again as if an infinite loop, as if some flag that should tell Tasker that the action was

    XMLHttpRequest() and fetch() in Javascript(let) returns nothing sometimes

    Jason Lim · 3 · Last reply by Jason Lim

    I would first like to acknowledge that I might be getting something absolutely wrong here.

    The code below will have the following results in chrome (accounted for CORS):

    • results[0-8].fetch = "..." // contains something
    • results[0-8].xhttp = "..."

    but will have the following results in Tasker:

    • results[0-4].fetch = "" // undefined
    • results[0-4].xhttp = ""
    • results[5-8].fetch = "..."
    • results[5-8].xhttp = "..."

    Few things to note:

    • An observation will be that something is only returned if the URL doesn't end with "html" or a sever directory.
    • The results here are the same with a POST request too.
    • I currently have no workaround other

    New text messages not spoken when received

    Kyle Hunt · 2 · Last reply by Kyle Hunt

    Hi,

    I have a Tasker profile that speaks new text messages while I have a bluetooth connection to any device.  Since migrating to my new S10, this profile stopped working.  I've seen this issue on reddit, but after following the links posted and trying all the steps, it still doesn't work.  Below is a list of settings that I've checked.  Am I missing something?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Settings:

    Tasker is enabled Notifications are on 'Use reliable alarms' enabled Power mode is optimized. Adaptive power saving is off. Optimize settings is off. {Battery -> Setting -> Settings power

    Proximity sensor not working - profile state always "active"

    Michi · 6 · Last reply by Mike Frame

    Proximity sensor detection not working on xz2 compact.

    Profile says proximity sensor is always active, even when its not.

    Is it the same issue/bug as on S10+? (there was another solved question with the same issue.)

    Disable a profile for a specific amount of time

    virtual · 1 · Last reply by Jim Becker

    I would like to have the possibility to turn off some profiles for a specific amount of time (just because sometimes I don't remember to switch them on again).

    That could be done maybe by long pressing on the switch while it is ON:

    and a Calendar date/time picker would popup to ask when to reactivate the profile.

    Use case: I have some profiles that automatically save the exit time from work and during holidays I won't need those features. Yes, I could add a variable to each of the profiles, but as this is only a temporary problem, maybe

    Add search filter for enabled/disabled profiles

    MBFingerhut · 0 · Posted

    While it would be ideal if my tinkering with profiles, tasks, and scenes always led to me cleaning up what I don't eventually use - the reality is that a lot of garbage piles up. It would be nice to search across all projects and:

    1. Find what relates to only profiles that are disabled, such that it can aid in clean up (right now, you can see disabled in each project, but not easily tell all the tasks, scenes, and variables that could be deleted to clean those out),
    2. and when searching for something you know is enabled, only find

    Any thoughts of making a plugin for Raspberry pi interface?  It would be convenient to start or stop a python file remotely, or interrogate the pi for a variable value.
