    However, if I manually ran the "error task", no error occurred and couldn't be found the problem.

    Does anyone know the problem?

    Action clone: Clone on drag+drop

    Tortuosit of Tapiola · 0 · Posted

    Idea for extending the new Action Clone. This is in order to create cloned entries anywhere in the task.

    The new button could behave differently. As a toggle. If pressed, drag+drop of commands could copy instead of moving them.

    Additionally: if more commands are copied, just copy. If one is copied, open it.

    But the more I think about it... We can already directly drag, the area is configurable. Maybe a second drag area would make sense, which copies instead moves.

    Expand the Favorite Actions feature so that it can include the saving of Action parameters as part of the Favorite

    CICS Starter · 2 · Last reply by CICS Starter

    With the abundance of new options soon to be available for the Flash action, it has become even more obvious that there needs to be some way to provide user specifiable defaults for Action parameters. 

    One possible solution would be to expand the Favorite Actions feature so that it would include the saving of Action parameters as part of the Favorite. This feature should be available for all actions. That way the user can save any action as a Favorite along with its default parameters. The use of the favorite will be the same as now but when the Favorite

    New media test action/state monitor

    Tyler T · 3 · Last reply by Lucas Abido Figueiro

    An action that can be performed inside of a task that will test and return the current media state variables similar to the event trigger "Music track changed". This would allow tasker to be configured to check the media state in the event that tasker detected music playing, was disabled, and then re-enabled but music was no longer playing. Basically a manual check in case of error. 

    The only way I can see currently to do this, is to configure a AutoNotification state monitor that checks for media notifications with certain apps. But would be great to have built into

    Auto trim array elements (global, optional)

    Hi Joao,

    for readability or in unknown input, in Variable Set or Array Set, we often have elements with leading or trailing spaces:

    5, 23, 14.745 ,  12

    A very common technique we probably have to deal with, at least I do it this way, is to variable split with Regex (\s*,\s*). If array elements have been created with Array Set, we may need to do a Search/Replace of whitespace in the array elements.

    IDEA: Let Tasker trim leading and trailing whitespace from array variables on creation and assignment. This should be a global option and initially turned off, for

    Use emojis and text for icons

    Bertie Beck · 2 · Last reply by Bertie Beck

    Auto notification has three different icon options which can't use the same source, tasks have another. There are hundreds of emojis in keyboards now and the ability to use the same icon for a task and notification and notification status bar icon would be simple to use and look nice and consistent.

    Help managing (lot of) missing plugins

    GianMaxTheo · 0 · Posted

    I have a lot of tasks not linked to a profile. Several of them have actions that refers to a plugin. And I use quite a lot Tasker plugins. Every now and then I have to export/import my whole configuration to a new phone And until I intercept and install ALL referred plugins, the popup logs will flood me with tens of messages every time I open Tasker. They are demo/study tasks or historical ones, I want to keep them there, and I want to have the popup log activated.

    Need some help to avoid going manually through tens of tasks looking

    [AutoLocation] Add geofence radius to the AutoLocation Info action.

    Christopher Peralta · 0 · Posted

    Right now there's not a good way to backup or restore Geofence configurations. 

    The best I could come up with was setting up a profile to trigger on all geofences (the event context give geofence radius) with an accompanying task that uses Mock Location to trigger the profile which logs all data needed to create a geofence with the AutoLocation Manage action.

    Request to have a scene element linked to multiple stroke actions which triggers different tasks. 

    E.g. one element triggers task X on a stroke up and triggers task Y on a stroke down.

    Filter Notification Event by type

    Andrzej · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    Android 11 or 10 introduced new type of notifications: silent. Its is configurable per notification channel.

    I think, that Tasker should implement it in Notification Event, so user can be able to filter new notification by type silent or normal.

    Add Tertiary App and more

    Christian WS · 0 · Posted

    The Secondary App can be used in different contexts, double tap power button, bixby and now double-tap on the back of the device. As it stands, all of those options would trigger the same task.

    A solution would be to add a Tertiary and Quaternary App if the others are in use. And seeing how new android versions and manufacturers could add more contexts, it seems to me it would be wise to let the user toggle the number of Secondary Apps they have on their system. This would mean less dev work when, inevitably, a new context is added.

    Change the "active" task color to work better on greyscale

    Jonathan Moregård · 1 · Last reply by Colin Hemming

    I keep my phone on greyscale to make it less addictive. This makes it hard to see if a task/"task condition" is active (the green highlight) You can enable greyscale by Dev options -> Simulate color space -> monochromacy.

    Please change the color to make it stand out a bit more on greyscale. Or make it customizable.

    Add looping animation for scenes and/or scene elements

    Christian WS · 0 · Posted

    Allow configuration of a looping animation in the scene editor. This would prevent elements to be static, which would prevent Burn-In in OLED displays

    Options like:

    -Start position

    -End position

    -Speed

    When the scene is created, the element start at it's start position, and it will work its way until it reaches it's end position, at which point it will start in reverse, until it reaches it's start position again, and it will keep looping

    Another option would be to spin the element, in which case there would only be the option to control direction and speed. Like a semi-circle

    Show Created & Edited Timestamps in Profile and Task Properties Dialogs

    Michael Quinlan · 0 · Posted

    Tasker currently displays the date/time that a profile was created in the profile properties dialog.  It would be extremely helpful to have the date/time the profile was last edited also displayed here, and to have both of these dates/times displayed for tasks in the task properties dialog.  This would be a great aid when trying to maintain profiles and tasks across multiple devices.
