    Google Drive Backup Failed - Beta 5.4.5b

    Philip Schaffer · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Google Drive Backup feature of Beta 5.4.5b appears to fail if an apostrophe is used in the device name.  Tasker is able to create the Tasker\data\backups folder but never creates the subfolder with the device name.  My device was named "Phil's S8".  After changing the name to "Phils S8", the device folder and backup file were created correctly.  I suspect this issue is caused by the apostrophe being interpreted as a delimiter.

    Phone Ringing Event Not Working

    Erickt420 · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a Pixel 2 XL on Android P.

    I am unable to get the Phone Ringing Event to fire at all when I receive calls. I have the volume on and am calling from a phone with a custom ringtone set. The UI of the app shows no activity when I receive a call, and the run log is completely empty after calling myself multiple times. The task that should fire simply sets a variable to 1 for now.

    Please let me know if I can provide any other information to help debug this issue.

    Multipart Binary SMS support

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    Text SMS already has this facility to break up > 150 character long SMS and send it as a multipart message, so the recipient just sees one large mesaage.

    However, sending a data/binary SMS, we are limited to 133 bytes due to the UDH informing it's binary and anything larger, the SMS fails.

    Listen to media through your phone's earpiece

    Thiago Talma · 1 · Last reply by Stefan

    Hello João!

    Do you think it would be possible to create an action to direct any sound to the earpiece?

    Exactly how does this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.Earpiece

    Listen to audio books and music through your phone's earpiece when you don't have earphones handy.

    MS Exchange calendar availability nor detected correctly

    ArnaudB88 · 0 · Posted

    Very detailed background: Calendar entries can have different availability options to mark a calendar entry as "free" or "busy". A normal calendar entry for a meeting would be marked as "busy" and is the default. You can also have an entry marked as "free" when you want more of a reminder of a meeting that you might not attend. This concept exists in both Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange/Outlook. Google Calendar shows this setting as "Show me as" with options Available and Busy and Exchange shows this setting as "Status" with options Busy, Free, Tentative, or Out of Office.

    add an action on display: canvas

    Covering an canvas on screen to simply draw then take screenshoot

    just cover a global transparent floating window on the screen where users can simply draw lines with finger on it, such as drawing arrows, so users can quickly make illustration and circle the point on screen easily. just click "back" button, then it will disappear.

    Allow Color Choice For Disabled / Un-Powered Actions

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    As of Tasker 5.0+ when an Action in a Task has been disabled (un-powered) the only thing to designate it as so is an olive-drab color bar to the left of it. 

    (Color may be different depending on theme).

    HOWEVER this doesn't make it very obvious that the Action has been disabled.

    In the future - this bar color should be configurable in Preferences AND there should be an option to have that entire Action greyed-out.

    Allow the option of Variable Set to copy cleared variable

    Steve Waring · 0 · Posted

    Have a check box in Variable Set so that if assigning one variable to another and the source variable is not set (cleared) then the target variable is cleared, rather than set to the name of the source variable.

    This would stop the need for If SET Then assign Else clear EndIf sequences.

    The check box would only apply when the source is a single variable.

    Reordering of tasks should rather be done with a small grabber to the left of the task such as what is seen on other apps like KWGT.

    Print the program lines of tasks to printer.

    Andre Piers · 0 · Posted

    Can you make in the menu of tasker the option to print the program lines. Reason: in case of complex and long task sequences, the overview is lost. To print out will help the programming of task (and error debugging). Thanks! Obrigado!

    Add option to BT connected profile to ignore specific bluetooth device(s).

    Steve Rothkin · 0 · Posted

    I have profiles (with both enter and exit tasks) that are enabled when any bluetooth device is connected. This is primarily to detect headphone and car connections and to also have certain actions that are commonly applied when disconnecting from any bluetooth headphone or car connection.

    I want these profiles to ignore certain devices (e.g. Fitbit watch, hearing aids). However, simply listing those and ticking Invert doesn't do the trick as those profiles then go inactive when I'm connected to the car and then I also get connected to one of those listed devices.

    What's really needed is to have

    [Bug?] Services not being detected

    Robert L Ryan · 0 · Posted

    In an application context, if I select services instead of activity the profile should be active when any of that application's services are running. See attached screenshot. I have the following profile:             

    Profile: Firefox Kicked (49)        

    Application: Firefox, Services             

    Exit: Anon (50)    

    A1: Notify

    Title: Firefox Kicked         

    Text: I got kicked at %TIME         

    Icon: null         

    Number: 0         

    Permanent: Off          Priority: 3         

    This is supposed to notify me when Firefox gets kicked out of memory. However, the context never becomes active. Not even if Firefox is the foreground application.

    Orxa · 0 · Posted

    Hi.

    I have been using the "Play music" feature, changing the output stream to "System".

    I would like to be able to use the "Play music folder" feature changing the output stream too, but this option does not exists on this one.

    Many thanks for your time and congratulations for your job.

    Have a nice day.
