    Read-Ahead Caching for Run Log [Low Hanging Fruit]

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    Scrolling through the Run Log is painful, particularly when searching for text — it clearly only tries to load the next pane of results when the user requests the control to scroll down. Instead, Tasker should read-ahead continuously (up for about 10 seconds or N rows) until the user backs out of the Run Log.

    moving media bug

    Versions after 5.14.8 have an error, the action of moving a photo or screenshot from folder to folder tightly hangs the media scanner process, only a reboot helps (I tried on 3 Xiaomi mi 11 ultra, Redmi note 10 pro, Redmi note 9 pro devices).

    As a result, the moved files in the gallery of any applications are missing until the reboot (telegram, regular gallery or any of the market).

    Example:

    A1: Wait [MS: 700]

    A2: List [Directory: DCIM/Screenshots/ Sort Select: Alphabetic Variable Array: %SCREENSHOTS ]

    A3: Move [From: %SCREENSHOTS(1) To: Pictures/Screenshots ]

    A4: Vibrate [Time: 200 ]

    App factory icon problem

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by StaffanT

    I'm unable to create (export) ANY new project as App because every time I try I get the following set of messages:

    1. prepare directory
    2. unpack factory assets
    3. decompress factory assets
    4. shrink unneeded files
    5. convert drawables to builtin

    error: loading android.resource://com.google.android.apps.fitness/drawable/2131820556

    error: failed

    The above is an example where I've tried to use an existing App icon (Fit in this case). But no matter what I try, Holo, Material, Misc, Crystal HD Project, I Like Buttons HD, the same type of error occurs with different resource ids. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Tasker with no change. BUT if I change the app

    IPv6 DNS cache bug

    Ondřej Novy · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    It looks like there is problem in HTP request action in combination with IPv6. It can be tested with URL https://fallback-v6.ipv6-test.com/json/proto.php which works over IPv4, but not IPv6 and contains both A and AAAA DNS records. Test task attached. There are two bugs.

    Use cases:

    Connected to network which doesn't support IPv6:

    • Tasker gets A record
    • HTTP request works - CORRECT

    Connected to network which supports IPv6:

    • Tasker gets AAAA record
    • HTTP request fails - BUG
    • there should be fallback from (not working) IPv6 to IPv4. That URL in browser loads fine (after small IPv6->IPv4 fallback timeout)

    SystemUI not in list of apps to kill

    Fabian Röling · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm not sure if more system apps are affected, but at least SystemUI does not appear in the list of apps in the "kill app" action. I also can't input a package name to work around the bug.

    Action to Disable Allow External Access

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    For security lockdown/hardening of one's phone — particularly in an age where blackhats and LEOs are able to remove fully-"secured" lockscreens on most phones in a matter of seconds — it would be ideal to be able to REVOKE Tasker's permission to "Allow External Access" via a Task Action. For example:

    • Add: Action
    • Category: Tasker
    • Action: Set Tasker Pref
    • Option: Disallow External Access
    • Make note: re-allowing external access can only be done manually.

    I'm regards to the last bullet point, I strongly discourage adding the ability to be able to ENABLE "Allow External Access" in any way other than manually,

    Set Alarm does not take into account "Vibrate" setting

    Ed255 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I perform the action "Set Alarm" with "Vibrate" set to "Off", the alarm will still vibrate when it goes off. Changing the parameter does not seem to impact the alarm that will be set.

    However, the parameters for hours, minutes, and label work perfectly fine.

    Tested on OnePlus 10 Pro - OxygenOS 13.

    Tasker Version: 6.0.10

    App Check Method: Accessibility

    2. Open any other app (eg. File Manager),  perform an assistance request,  and the Flash text will be shown.

    Permissions Issue after uninstall/reinstall

    I accidentally uninstalled tasker, but I was lucky enough to have a recent backup. Upon reinstalling, a few of my tasks give me permissions errors.

    1) One of my tasks I use as an alarm. The "Music Play" action gives the following error:

    I even went to grant document tree access and selected the root folder and it still doesn't work. That file does exist in that location too. I also tried setting up another task that requires me to browse files on my

    Scene Element border distorted after resizing

    After resizing an Scene Element, the element's border is distorted. Original size: https://ibb.co/JmKPhbs Resized: https://ibb.co/wzYdmFx Expected: https://ibb.co/vq755df It would be better if the border didn't change its size. There is an Element Border action for that.

    Inertial Scrolling in scenes

    Q · 0 · Posted

    If you create a scene including an editable text element, you'll be able to scroll through the text once the characters exceed it's dimensions. This is a useful feature, but it would be even better, if it supported inertial scrolling, so you could scroll a significant distance with just one quick swipe instead of the page stopping once you lift your finger off the screen. Incidentally, this is already possible for uneditable text elements, where you can set the "Vertical Fit Mode" to either cut off the text, reduce the font size or allow inertial scrolling.

    App Factory Download doesn't exist

    Constants as complement to Variables

    StaffanT · 0 · Posted

    Constants could, for example, be useful to allow data to be shipped as part of a kid app. Today it seems very difficult to include data such as pictures, sound files, or whatever in an app, as they need to be downloaded dynamically from somewhere once installed on a target system (or maybe I'm wrong there and there are better ways to do that). In any case Constants would need to be able to hold a lot of data to be useful, not be limited to 4K as I think is the case for Variables. Of course, the size of
