    AutoInput to also report the actual coordinates of the click/long-click actions

    berkan · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    %aicoordinates contains the center point of the clicked element.

    This is fine for relatively small elements like buttons, but sometimes I want to know the actual point I clicked on a larger surface -- for instance, on a canvas in a drawing app.

    Is it possible for AutoInput to set an extra variable (%aitruecoordinates ?) to return the point that was actually clicked?

    Many thanks!

    Problem associating tasks with user icons

    Sharif Salah · 2 · Last reply by Barbara

    Hey,

    I've got 100+ tasker actions that I've associated with my own PNG icons, mainly purchased from iconfinder.com

    Whenever I do a clean install of tasker, it doesn't seem to correctly associate the icon I've previously set up with the task. It just gives me a red triangle. So it's a bit of a chore to have to set them all up again.

    I've had two phones and it's been the same with both. Also, even without a clean install, over time the red triangle comes up for some tasks for no obvious reason. The icon is still in place

    Prevent android sounds when changing ringer volume

    Scott12 · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is there a way that Tasker can prevent Android from making sounds or vibrating when setting ringer volume?  I mute my phone at night, then I have a profile that runs in the morning that turns the ringer on, and it makes an annoying beep when the Ringer Volume action runs.  I saw one post that seemed to address this (https://tasker.helprace.com/i869-adjust-ringer-volume-0-without-sound), but setting Do Not Disturb didn't stop the sound for me.  I would also like to prevent the vibration when setting the ringer volume to zero.

    In addition to setting Do Not Disturb = No Interruptions, I've also tried

    The "run task" button should accept params when you long click it

    Destroy666 · 2 · Last reply by Destroy666

    Very simple yet quite useful for testing change. You can set priority or something like that when you currently long click. Two additional field for par1 and par2 wuld make testing certain tasks a lot quicker.

    Action to create files in Tasker

    Tyler T · 2 · Last reply by Tyler T

    The file actions are awesome but I can't seem to figure out a way to create files from inside tasker itself, only write them. May be wrong and it's already possible. But if not, would be awesome to have a "Create file" action. Being able to input a title, select the location to place the file, and even select what kind of extension is used (.txt,.csv, Etc.). Would save time by not having to create a file ahead of time to use inside of tasker.

    Add INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS permission

    Ian Grody · 2 · Last reply by Ian Grody

    In A11, running `dumpsys location` throws an exception that the user needs android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS (android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_ALL)

    These do look to be system/privileged, so should be grantable via ADB.

    Thanks.

    Improve debugging by running single action at a time

    Mat L · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently we have the ability to manually run entire tasks. I use this to debug the task itself, before moving on to debugging the profile context, by adding strategic Flashes and Stops.

    I think adding a full blown Debug mode like an IDE might be asking for too much, since Tasker is not an IDE, which means we still may continue to have to rely on Flashes to check variable contents. But if the Task is really long and we specifically want to Debug a specific part, it's super annoying having to run the entire Task many times while moving

    There can be 'AND' and 'OR' operands while defining a function

    Melih · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I want to execute function X on given situation:

    A AND (B OR C OR D)

    But app lets only this:

    A AND B

    A AND C

    A AND D

    I have to define them one by one individually, OR statement would be so nice.

    Autocast audio message to group of google homes

    Patrick Wickline · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a raspberry pi zero with two vibration sensors to send me pushbullet notifications when my laundry is done. I want to use tasker Autonotification to read those notifications then broadcast by Autocast through my google homes the same message for when I don't have my phone on me. 

    This is just one use case, i have other ideas that I'd like to Autocast audio messages to a group of google homes. 

    Similar to the "Broadcast" feature natively built into the google home devices.

    Project Folder List Menu

    Tasker Pro · 3 · Last reply by agnostic-apollo

    At this point with so many folks using Tasker for so long - a lot of people have A LOT of Project Folders/Tabs.

    It is very difficult to keep scrolling left/right to jump from one Project to another very easily.

    A new feature should be added so that when the user long-click on any Project Tab, the first Action (lowest on list below "Set Icon") should be a menu option for "Show Project List".

    This would then display a simple vertical list menu of all Projects and one can easily be chosen. There can also be an option for "Sort
