    Separate Out of Bounds Blocking Overlay Scenes from Lockscreen Overlays

    JP · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    We can currently use out of bounds option to create scenes on the nav/status bars. This also allows the scene to show on the lockscreen or AOD.

    I actually don't want my navbar scenes to show on the lockscreen. Is it possible to add a separate option to allow Overlay+ scenes to not show on the lockscreen.

    State profile that triggers on a specific profile's ON or OFF status

    StaffanT · 4 · Last reply by StaffanT

    I look for a solution to the following scenario: Profile B should turn OFF when profile A goes ON, and vice versa. This is different to checking whether a state profile is ACTIVE or INACTIVE. There is currently no profile event or state that can monitor the ON/OFF (ENABLED/DISABLED) state of a profile. The variable %PENABLED is not usable in the same way.

    Please add Favorite action tab

    Attulpattel · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Really thankful to your hard work to make tasker more and more pro. Want to suggest or request if it is possible than you can add favorite action tab as a sidebar menu. Like if using wait, flash, if etc.. Actions more commonly so if i can Define my favorite action and add it to my task on single tap it will be very useful. For example Like more often i add flash action with text' testing' to check if task triggered or not. So if i can add that action with Predefined text with single tap it will

    Long(er) Flash action

    Jimmy Jimmy · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Use Flash a lot for debugging. So easy and convenient to use. Sometimes when displaying a lot of information, even "Long" is not long enough. Could you make "Long" longer? Or let us specify how long (in second) it lasts?

    Add a wait period to the flash action

    Rich D · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    The newer versions of Android have created what I would definitely call a bug with the wait action. Now if I have multiple flashes no matter if the first flash is set to long or not the second flash will immediately overwrite the first. This happens so fast I can not even see the first flash action, leading me to believe it never occurred which makes debugging very difficult. The fix for this is to add a wait action after the flash action. Which means every flash action now I will have to add a wait action after it to

    Cool down period as a variable or set from within a task

    Tom Michael · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Have profile "cool down" time be specified from a global variable. Something like ...

    Tasker Function - Set Profile Cool Down Period - Select Profile (from helper list) for Cool Down Period. - Set Cool Down Time Period (from helper)

    This can be useful when using "If" statements in specific tasks for profiles where collision or priority levels can cause conflicts.

    Example:

    Profile - "Remind me to Call Mom Back"- Missed Call Notification from Mom

    Task - Remind Me

    IF - I'm in a %Meeting (true), Set Cool Down Period for 2 Hours for profile "Remind me to Call Mom

    A way to designate whether a Profile has been user named or not.

    Tasker Pro · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently in Tasker when creating a new Profile there is the ability to name it manually by the user, or to just click the checkbox and let Tasker auto-assign it a name (usually based on whatever the Contexts are then assigned).

    The problem with this is - some of the names that Tasker uses for auto-naming can often look like they were named by a user, which can cause problems later on, specifically:

    The variables %PACTIVE and %PENABLED do not / will not contain Profile names that have been assigned by Tasker, regardless of if they are active or enabled.

    Collision toast - optional please!

    Tortuosit of Tapiola · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey Joao,

    please make the collision toasts optional. They may be interesting for newbies. But people who know Tasker, who manage collisions appropriately, who take them into account, as part of the programming - the toasts are totally annoying.

    Please a global option or a checkbox where we can supress the warning for specific tasks...

    You could also make them part of the "Flash warnings" global setting. 

    thx

    Create a variable whose value is the name of the current task.

    Noel Yap · 10 · Last reply by João Dias

    Please provide a way to get the name of the currently running task (and only that task). This would allow tasks to push themselves on to a stack and have other tasks pop off the stack and execute those tasks (eg to set and reset volume profiles).

    There shall be an incoming call hidden behind a fingerprint, password or any authentication. After providing the credentials the call incoming shall be visible.

    This will avoid anyone answering or spying incoming caller. Or answer calls on your behalf which you might not want anyone to see or know.

    BT Connected => Select BT Device. Also display custom device name

      In the "BT Connected" state settings, device name lookup dialog ("Select a BT Device") displays built-in devices names, but not aliases.   This make hard to distinguish devices with identical names.   I know that by testing it is possible to found corresponding device MAC Address, but it would be very much easy if the dialog displayed BT devices aliases also.    Sample:

    Hello,

    I'd like to toggle the Bluetooth absolute volume developer setting when a certain BT device connects and disconnects. Unfortunately I did not find the option in Tasker. It would be very nice if you could add the option to change this setting with Tasker.

    Autotools Web Screen Status Bar Text size

    Joram · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I've tried the new Autotools Web Screen 'Status Bar Text' and liked it. It's pretty straight forward. While trying I noticed it's possible to change the position of the Text in the Status Bar but not the text size. I would like to be able to change the text size to match the text and icons of the Status Bar, or do what ever one likes.

    In my case for example, I have the current temperature in the little space right of the hole for the front camera and the edge of the screen wich is not used by the

    It would be great to have a built-in variable for the orientation state.

    There are a functions to check it manually either by profile or task action but both of course are slower if we've a built-in variable.
