    Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API supports SSML.

    So, I would like to add an option to specify Plain Text or SSML to Say WaveNet.

    Move Tasks between Projects

    Ian Grody · 4 · Last reply by Ian Grody

    I'm sure I can not be the only one to have thought this, but when doing housekeeping I like to make new projects and move Tasks/Profiles there. This currently requires exporting and reimporting.

    Could there be an option with Clone/Export, called Move please? This could then drop down all current Projects where said Profile/Task/Scene moves to.

    Thank you!

    Access clipboard in background (Android Q)

    wedsa5 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I had raised an issue here "%CLIP event doesn't work and state doesn't update properly" about the clipboard not triggering events. Joao found out it was an Android Q issue where they added new security to disallow all applications from accessing the clipboard in the background.

    There is a new permission

    I'm not really sure if it will be possible for Tasker to receive permissions with protectionLevel signature, but I figured I would create a ticket for it just in case.

    I'm reading elsewhere that Android Q will break a lot of clipboard manager apps, but Tasker gets administrator privileges

    Swipe in from screen edge as a context

    Shane Duchock · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I think this gesture would be an interesting context.  Perhaps going further to define what region and what direction?

    Swipe in from lower right...show scene...

    Swipe in from upper left...call my wife, turn on all the lights, open the garage door

    Or would this be more suited for a launcher to manage?

    Plugin idea: "Continue task immediately"

    Tyler T · 2 · Last reply by Stefan

    This is actually a two part idea for making plugins work better, and I think it's a must have due to how erratic 3rd party applications can work sometimes. 

    1) Add in a "Continue Task Immediately" option. This would allow the plugin to work without halting the task if the plugin application is behind or not working, but also give it the allotted timeout to try and accomplish it's function. 

    2) Add in a "Perform once" option. Now this may not be necessary if the above action is added, but this would prevent tasker from sending multiple signals to do

    Remove Beginner Mode

    Robert L Ryan · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    'Beginner Mode' causes more confusion and trouble than it is worth. New users will post that Tasker doesn't work and often the cause is because they are still in beginner mode.

    At the very least the option should default to off. I can't see why this mode is needed.

    actually set a profile or task name to the default Tasker given name instead of leaving the name blank

    Charles Bernard · 1 · Last reply by Charles Bernard

    if we choose not to give a profile or task a name, Tasker gives a default "placeholder" name but we cannot call the profile/task by this placeholder name from other tasks unless we give it our own name.

    if Tasker would just set the user defined name to match this placeholder name if the user decides to not give it a unique name, this would make calling %pactive and %penabled much easier.

    Tasker as IME, to allow users to make custom keyboards in the best app that ever was :D

    Would be nice to have Tasker act like an input device,  users could make their own custom keyboards with special functionality, ex: vim-like actions and such.

    Ability to link the name changes on variable state/IF variables or PACTIVE

    insaned · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    One of the major issues to change the names of certain profiles/variables is that then the names need to be manually edited. Sometimes it can lead to a lot of manual work and manual search for where they are located in the other profiles.

    Wouldn't be possible to create a label or link them so it would change in the whole tasker? Somehow like the 'perform task' automatically changes when the task name is renamed.

    Notification cancel and read message options

    Nima Dehdari · 5 · Last reply by Dominic Owens

    Hello Joao,

    My recommendation is that we add a notification cancel and read message option to Tasker. This feature is available on other automation apps. This feature is going help tons of people.

    Thank you for your time,

    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.

    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

    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
