    Hi, could you please add "folder /subfolders'' modification in File Modify Event

    Hi, could you please add "folder /subfolders'' modification in File Modified Event

    We can use File Modified event in tasker to find if a file is modified in a folder 

    Is it possible that it can check in the folder/subfolders if the file is modified

    Thanks 

    Regards

    Add a "Copy Info" option to the menu->info

    Rich D · 3 · Last reply by André Jeromin

    Usually the first response From João to a request for help is "Tasker Version ?"  especially when dealing with betas. It would be very useful to have a menu option like Menu -> Info > copy tasker info.

    This would set the clipboard to all data João would feel necessary to properly assess help requests. Such as Tasker version, app factory version, android version, device, rooted, ect..

    Automate XML backup

    Pete Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Pete Kemp

    A way to automatically export certain Project/Task/Scenes as XML to SD to allow for custom backup to cloud/FTP.

    The amount of times I've lost useful, complicated projects because my tasker backups are out of date is painful :(

    Implement Android Enterprise API (Device Owner)

    Nick Betcher · 3 · Last reply by Nick Betcher

    There's a huge, Huge, HUGE untapped resource out there: Device Owner (NOT Device Admin). You can do all sorts of wild things that most experienced Android powerusers had no idea even exists and tend to try to root their device (unnecessarily) to accomplish. SecureTask accomplishes this goal, but with the developer having suddenly abandoned all of his apps and began ignoring emails about acquisition of the source code (they're all free apps), we need a long-term replacement.

    SecureTask is also very vulnerable to external apps because it performs no password verification when it receives the plugin fire intents, even if

    Permit bigger scenes than physical display and that can be scrollable

    Joao, thanks for this wonderful app. 

    I think that would be nice to permit bigger scenes than physical display and that can be scrollable.

    Thanks in advance

    Accessing multiple indexes of an array

    Richard Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Frits van Bommel

    Suppose array %alphabet contains the values a,b,c,d,e. Currently if I want to access the first, third, and fifth I could write %alphabet(1) %alphabet(3) %alphabet(5), but this is a bit cumbersome as the number of entries I want increases.

    Some programming languages offer the ability to access multiple array indexes in one function, in Tasker this would look something like this:

    %alphabet(1,3,5) --> evaluates to a,c,e

    This would be especially useful when searching for array matches using %var(#?pattern) - you could use %var(%var(#?pattern)) to instantly get all members of %var() which match pattern.

    Tasker Quick Settings Tiles only 3 at the moment

    Lemuel Sacop · 0 · Posted

    Hi Joao,

    Is it possible to add more quick settings tiles for Tasker? Currently it only has 3. Your AN Plugin has 41 i think. I was able to use your AN QS Tiles to point to my custom tasks in Tasker but i have to set the command and icon first in a task by running it manually and then another profile to react to that AN command. I notice some delays updating the status of the icons. But the tasker qs tiles are instanteneous. If possible if you can add 20 or more QS tiles for Tasker (or

    Make actions requiring root or write secure settings easier to identify

    It would be nice if it was easier to differentiate actions that require root are write secure settings permission. Making each of these actions a different colour would help with this.

    Create timer without task

    It would be a good solution to be able to create timers without needing to create additional tasks.

    improved error handling and reporting

    Lynda Howell · 2 · Last reply by adomm420

    I'd like to see more informative error messages, including %errmsg set on every error, the values for %err defined in each action's documentation, and something more than Err displayed in the RunLog.  I think the message displayed in the editor when a plugin has an error could also be made more useful, as could the warnings shown on startup.

    I'd also like to see more error handling, so the steps of saving, examining, and clearing each error don't have to be recreated for each potentially failing action.

    In Built Json Key value store with Variable value context trigger

    Sriram SV · 1 · Last reply by Von

    Tasker should have its own "No-SQL" like database to store and retrieve complex data rather than  just variables. 

    This will also allow variable backup and any data can be queried remotely without having to setup a profile for each of the stuff

    Native MQTT support

    Spiregarden · 2 · Last reply by Mark de bruin

    MQTT would be the most logical way of Tasker to integrate to a home automation or vehicle.

    Current 3rd party plugins have various problems:

    - "Join" requires Google Play framework

    - "MQTT Client" by Webneurons is no longer maintained and it contains a google ad tracker

    - "Node Red integration" requires Node Red, and feels unnecessary

    For me, native MQTT support would be the most important feature of Tasker. If I'm not alone here, I'd be happy to take part (via Patreon) in covering the expenses of developing the native support.

    Project Variables listed in VARS tab

    JP · 1 · Last reply by josephlegrand

    The new project/profile/task variables are hidden via a long press and press in a menu. It would be great if they were listed in the VARS tab to easily check what value they are currently set to.

    Also, it would be great if they were visually distinguished from local variables.

    Tasker UI - possibility to show/sort profiles based on the priority

    Daniel Hajduch · 3 · Last reply by Daniel Hajduch

    Recently I had some problems with profile execution, I have a lot of profiles, and I found that it was a problem with priorities. But checking the profile priority means a lot of clicks. Would it be possible to show profile priority next to the profile on/off switch? I think at left side of the switch. Or add priority as separate column with possibility to sort profiles by it's priorities?

    Thanks

    Using variable in Time Event Context for the Every Time Repeat

    Steffen · 3 · Last reply by Mosaad Gaber

    Hello TASKER community and DEV,

    we fill in Time Event from a Szene for Custom Profiles for Start and End of Actions.

    Now it would not be bad, if we can fill the Every Time Context also from a variable, the repetition rhythm fix of hour or also as variable.

    attached a screen design - Would be an idea.

    Fix %BATT (Battery Level) variable "not valid" in Variable Value State context

    virtual · 1 · Last reply by badbob001

    Please fix this long standing "bug" (actually not implemented code), already described on the original thread here:

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/8Nke4GLfa1I

    Basically either the ability to put %BATT variable in Profile > State > Variables > Variable Value (not allowed at the moment) or to set the battery ranges by variable in Profile > State > Power > Battery Level.

    New Tasker function getDateFormatted

    Stefan · 3 · Last reply by Stefan

    Can we please have this as a Tasker function? I guess it's a very common functionality needed by many ambitious projects and if anybody has already the function in his Tasker configuration new imports of projects containing this task as well will fail.

    Add an option to easily move the list items

    Niyon S V · 3 · Last reply by Dave Wiard

    I have a suggestion that when we rearrange any list item, for example some tasks list it can't be dragged and dropped to the desired place easily. If we tap & hold any item and move to some position it doesn't move to the place which we intended to move. This happens to profiles, tasks, actions,.. etc. we have to move everything up and down many times to get them in desired position.

    If you add a 'drag & drop' icon, that appears when we start to move an item, it'd be so helpful. If possible, when you get enough

    Profile execution stats

    Against each profile, show the date/time it was last executed. Additionally, touching the date/time stamp can bring up additional details like how long did the profile execute? How many times has it executed in the last day etc.

    I would like already the last executed time stamp

    Does not detect app launched if opened from recents in Android P. Only when launched from app icon or launcher.

    Sean Culligan · 4 · Last reply by Moha Said

    I have a profile that detects when certain apps are launched. I found that if you launch the app from the app icon or launcher, it works fine (even if the app is currently in the recents list). If you re-open the app from the recents list, it doesn't detect the app as running or sometimes detects it but takes a long time and possibly only when you pull down the notifications. 

    Android version: 9

    Tasker version: 5.2.bf1
