    Status for Variable Value Contexts

    Jim Becker · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Since Joao and others pointed out that we could use the Variable Value context for complex logic, I have converted several contexts to complex Variable Value contexts.

    One problem that I have is viewing the state of the individual logical operations in one Variable Value context.

    Please add an option to the context menu to view the current status of each operation. Highlight them green if true. Just like the overall status of the context.

    Add a way to escape vars for Tasker pattern matching

    Destroy666 · 1 · Last reply by Destroy666

    Escaping is pretty much a requirement for languages/syntaxes to work well. There's currently no way to escape special characters for Tasker pattern matching.

    I also know you can use regexes as a workaround but it's suboptimal if the matching should be indeed simple.

    Allow "Notify" action notification icons to be regular content URIs

    Destroy666 · 1 · Last reply by Destroy666

    Rather than just some sort of specific Tasker URIs, they should work with content and maybe file URIs.

    Stop action "with error" should let you choose error message

    Destroy666 · 0 · Posted

    Another simple suggestion that would make debugging easier. "With error", when ticked, should accept custom text that would get displayed as the error message in run log (or rather the one displayed when you open the app, nt sure what's this one called).

    Autocalendar action to delete upcoming notification times

    Sharif Salah · 0 · Posted

    I find the AutoCalendar plugin really useful - thanks as always João. I often use the delete event action to delete upcoming event(s) once I have retrieved the ID(s). It would be awesome if it were possible to add in an additional action which only deletes the upcoming notification time(s) that are associated with the event so that Google Calendar does not fire a notification for the event any more, but leaves the actual event intact in the calendar.

    Would that be possible do you think?

    Many thanks

    Torch status profile trigger

    Sharif Salah · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey,

    Would be great if a torch status profile could be added to allow actions to be triggered based on whether the torch status is on or off.

    Thanks as always

    Option to toggle Tasker's use of metered connections

    iodidi · 1 · Last reply by Kasdif

    An option in Tasker settings, that toggles whether Tasker itself can use metered network connections, could be very useful.

    So, if the option "Allow Tasker to use metered network connections" is in the off position, Tasker itself will only use non-metered networks.

    For instance, I have a profile that uses the 'GD Upload' action every other day to upload a backup file, which is about a gigabyte. Since my mobile data limit for the whole month is 1 gigabyte, if at the time of the upload there is some issue with my wifi connection, the upload will use up my

    Geohash as a Get Location return parameter

    Peter Howells · 1 · Last reply by Peter Howells

    A suggestion for an extra Get Location return parameter (or perhaps a Variable Convert function) is the geohash.

    As a usage example, I scrape weather forecasts from the UK Met Office website, which uses a geohash to specify a location (anywhere in the world as far as I can see). To do this I currently have to Get Location, feed the coordinates to the Geohash website, extract the geohash from the result and then feed that into the Met Office website before extracting the forecast data.

    It'd be nice to simplify the process.

    Import/Export individual xml tasks and profiles

    Malakan · 0 · Posted

    The ability to import and export individual tasks and profiles using tasker actions as opposed to AutoInput or manually.

    While this is do-able using AutoInput, a dedicated action would ensure reliability and remove ~20 actions from a task that I currently use to import a profile into a specific project

    A tasker action could import a specified xml into a specified project. A second action could export a specified task or profile (or project?) and save to a specified location

    Battery usage report

    Kristian Tigersjäl · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Tasker is usually battery friendly but some people write incredible and large things which may end up using some relevant amount of battery. A battery report built into Tasker would be great. It should list how much battery each task has used of the total battery Tasker used. Preferably also the battery impact for monitoring profiles etc. Whatever details possible to add.

    List variable names passed from subtasks

    Kristian Tigersjäl · 0 · Posted

    Variable names appear in the list when clicking the variable buttons in actions, if's etc. These include variable names used in the task and the profile. Variable names returned from a child task is however not included which can make it pretty cumbersome to use these. I'd love seeing these in the variable list as well.

    An "Advanced Search / Replace" Action

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    Really need the creation of a new/additional Search/Replace that primarily enabled two things:

    1. Allow named groups in the regex to automatically create variables and values within the Task.

    2. Allow multiple replaces at one time in the Action by inputing a group name along with its replacement value.

    Pairs should likely be created/input using the format of the new Task/Profile/Project variables feature, where you press a " + " button, and a new pair of fields appears.

    For full detail and code examples please see this reddit post.

    Aufnahmeverstärkung

    Horst · 0 · Posted

    Hallo João, erstmal, ein gutes 2021. Ich benutze die App "Rec Audio Recorder PRO" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.ultron.audiorecorder. Was mir besonders entgegen kommt, ist dort die Aufnahmeverstärkung um 400%, denn mein HUAWEI P20 lite liefert nur eine sehr geringe Aufnahmelautstärke. Beim Abspielen von Aufnahmen muss ich die Wiedergabelautstärke immer voll aufdrehen auch bei 400%) und dann nicht vergessen diese wieder auf den Normalwert herunter zu setzen. Siehst Du eine Möglichkeit sieht die Aufnahmeverstärkung höher als +400% einzustellen? Oder kennst Du eine App welche das ermöglicht? Könnte man das in Tasker einbauen? Beste Grüße Horst #################################### Hello João, first of all, a good 2021.

    more action in one action, for example, being able to search and replace more than once. create sub actions that only respond if the above action is true or successful or even the other way around.

    Project/profile/task variables list should look more like the normal variables list

    Kristian Tigersjäl · 0 · Posted

    Project/profile/task variables list is quickly getting cumbersome to scroll when the list grows. It should look and work more like the normal variables list, i.e:

    - Be a table that is quick to scroll and find things in

    - Preferably have the filter function of the normal variables list

    Colour Categories

    I want to ask that please add some colours in taskers so that we can give some colours to ours task so that we can differentiate more than 2 task easily either they belong to same task or another task.

    Because there is a little difficulty in finding the relevent task.

    Taskernet QR Codes

    Samuel Jones · 0 · Posted

    When visiting a TaskerNet URL on a browser it correctly displays a "open on device" message, but I believe that in addition to offering Join as a way to connect the device, a QR code to the same page could also be offered.
