    Exporting run log to text file and Enabling/Disabling Tasker's run log via task command

    G Mc.Pherson · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    As my Tasker skills improve, I find that I'm creating larger and more complex tasks. Of course I'm not perfect and bugs happen. It occurs to me that it would be really useful if we were able to export Tasker's run log to a text file and be able to view it on another computer. Thus being able to see the code and run log simultaniously. Also allowing a task command to enable and disable the run log from with in a task would allow logging of only portions of a task that is being debugged.

    Thanks for considering

    Native NFC functionality for Tasker

    Neil-Pierre Strydom · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    Basic READ and WRITE actions like the current plugins do, BUT ALSO,

    an option to READ the serial nr and current content of an NFC card when you WRITE new data to the card, with ONE scan action. 

    Even just being able to read the serial nr of a card when you write to a card with one scan action will already be great.

    TaskerNET - clickable links in the profile description.

    Mat Zolnierczyk · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    It would be great if the links in the description of the TaskerNet description were clicable. I add the used plugins and other references there and selecting stuff especially on mobile devices to open makes it harder than it should be

    Thanks

    Allow to check orientation while screen is off

    Stefan · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently it is not possible to check the device's display orientation while the screen is off. I'd need this because I use the proximity sensor to wake up the phone when the sensor is released (e.g. when opening the cover). However it seems when the phone is in movement there are frequently false readings of the proximity sensor causing the phone to wake up in the pocket (I checked this with a profile doing a beep sound when the sensor is released). So I want to check orientation when the proximity sensor is released before turning on the display in

    Tasker manifest needs to request permission to change runtime permissions of other apps

    Anon17845 · 5 · Last reply by Luke

    Tasker manifest needs to request permission to change runtime permissions of other apps. 

    I need to be able to grant or revoke the permissions for other apps.  A lot of times, an app works great when I want it run in the forground, but is a bit obnoxious when running in the background.  I may be okay with background app accessing the internet, but don't want it getting GPS location while in the background, only when active in the foreground.  Tasker could easily handle the context, but cannot do the action of preventing the app from location services.  Not unless

    Quick setting label

    Chris Friedmann · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Would it be possible to add an option to set a custom label in the Setup Quick Setting action so that the text under the QS icon can be set independently of the name of the task being performed? Thanks!

    Support "Night Light"

    The mode turns the display more amber. I'd like to be able to turn it on and off through Tasker (eg off when Maps is on).

    Update User's Guide

    Robert L Ryan · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    Many sections of the User's Guide have not been updated since Kitkat. New options have been added, new restrictions added or removed, ect. In some cases the information is simply incorrect.

    Sections in the guide should also include:

    • Any OS requirements or restrictions
    • If root is needed
    • Special permissions needed

    I know that updating and maintaining the User's Guide is a monumental task, but I think it is essential to maintaining the usefulness and popularity of the app.

    Monitor Display Brightness as State

    Ian Grody · 2 · Last reply by Ian Grody

    Monitoring %BRIGHT as a state is not directly possible. However, we can create a loop and additional task for a Screen on State and monitor %BRIGHT for changes. Is it possible to have this directly as a State Monitor please?

    Example workaround;

    Add ContentObserver to monitor for changes in Secure/Global/System settings

    Mishaal Rahman · 4 · Last reply by Rikiirawan640

    This is a very basic feature that should be built in to Tasker. It will open up automation based on toggling of settings, many of them OEM settings, that were never before possible.

    For example, I could monitor for changes in the status of Night Light and then act off of that by, for example, changing between a Light/Dark theme.

    Tasker quick setting tiles

    Instead of adding tasks shortcuts in the homescreen, why not add tasker quick settings tiles too just like AN and Join for Tasker. Or add that feature too.

    Allow a task to schedule the execution of a task.

    Noel Yap · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    This is related to the fork/join feature request and is probably a better choice for the use-case described (ie update some state in the background).

    If a task can schedule itself for execution in the future it can:

    1. Update a widget.

    2. Schedule itself for execution one minute in the future if some condition is true (eg a Scene is active).

    Query set variables

    Scott Ballard · 2 · Last reply by Scott Ballard

    I would like to query, at random, which variables I have set and fill an array with their names and values. "Test Tasker" will show me the variable names, but not their assigned values. 

    My idea is to create a permanent notification that I can view at any time to see what variables I have set and what their values are.
