"Choose a file" action, allowing users to actively choose a file and then let the task process the file. It may requires the system file chooser and wait till it return a file path and then store the path into a variable. 

Pop up a dialog, which has a list of blanks, and there are names and hints of the lists. Each blank indicates a value of a variable, when the lists are filled, and "OK" button are clicked, the value of the lists will be assigned to the corresponding variable.

There are some cases when we enable gps through apps for some time. So in that case when Gnss system stops i would like to turn off gps. 

In the Show Scene task, there's a dropdown list called Display As.

I would like an Activity option that allows me to show the status bar but not the nav bar.

Currently there's a "no nav" option but only with the status bar sap removed. Please could you add that option.

Thank you.

Я понимаю что эта мелочь не столь приоритетная над остальными планами, но я всё же надеюсь что когда-нибудь в ближайшем времени будет добавлена опция выбора из галереи изображений для уведомления. Очень этого не хватает чтобы пользоваться без стороннего плагина, который полностью на английском языке и ничего в нём не понятно как и что. Я с каждым обновлением приложения проверяю на доступность этой опции и надеюсь на её реализацию. Заранее огромнейшее спасибо

As of now, tasker backups are stored in XML format and is naked. It would be great if it is encrypted or at least locked, below are my suggestions:

• Encryted XML content with a key like RSA + optional passphrase
• Zip the file and lock it with a passphrase

No need to grant them all, at least our setup are locked.

Please also force us to use strong passphrases. 

JSON format would be great too since it would be smaller (I think) in size than XML format thus making the encryption or zip locking process a little bit faster

Tasker's default Quick Settings Tile is very useful for disabling/enabling Tasker, but can its label be changed from "Toggle" to "Tasker" to better describe its function?

Update the behavior of the Tasker Action: Display AutoRotate (Off, On, Toggle) to reflect the Screen rotation changes introduced in Android 9 (API level 28):

“When the device is in rotation lock mode, users can lock their screen to any rotation supported by the top, visible Activity. An Activity should not assume it will always be rendered in portrait. If the top Activity can be rendered in multiple rotations in auto-rotate mode, the same options should be available in rotation locked mode, …”

Currently, setting Display AutoRotate to Off, always locks the screen to portrait instead of the current orientation.

For example, I have an array_list with (red, green, blue), so I want that when the list display, the item red will be in red color and so on.

So the idea is that we can create another array for example array_color based on array_list with (#ffff0000, #ff00ff00, #ff0000ff) and put the variable in the text color field. Then the text color and array item is link together by the array index, therefore the list will display array_list(1) with the text color array_color(1).

The same suggestion for image path in Item Layout. So we can put array_icon in the image

It should be useful if we can select all and clear selection wherever there is a list of item show. For example: List Dialog or List Menu in scene.

I know that Mateo asked for some sort of loops like "while", but he was answered with "For" loop which in programming works differently.

Also, I am asking for true "While" loop. To give better view of this concept I am going to share my case: I'd like to hear who calls on the phone. So, AutoNotification comes here and the Tasker, of course. I make three profiles: one with Event->Phone->Phone Ringing, another one with Event->Phone->Missed Call and the last one with Plugin->AutoNotification. The first two just switch value of one shared variable %phoneRings from false, when phone does not

I hope to add a way to modularize the task list.For instance.Now there is actually this modular way.But there's a problem.Is when one of the tasks invokes the other.There is no easy way to edit the task being called.I hope to add a function, that is, in the task that calls other tasks, click on the called task, you can directly enter the editing process of the called task.That would be very convenient.In addition, the task module called in the task list is displayed in another color, so that it can be well distinguished, it is not a normal task

I think it'd be helpful if the Wifi Connected state set some local variables which described the current wifi connection for the task it will be calling.

Newer states/events for Tasker set local output variables for their respective tasks; for example, the Logcat Entry event sets %lc_text to the logcat line it matched.

I'm hoping it would be possible for the Wifi Connected state to set variables such as %ssid, %mac, %ip, %sig, %spd, and %chl to their respective values as seen in %WIFII.

Thanks!

I want to find out how much free space I still have in my Google Drive account and clear the trash when needed.

Stay with me, Joao! please... ;-)

I know, I know...

I have seen others request this, without fully or clearly explaining any type of detail or benefit.

I have made images to explain how this would benefit the usability of Tasker. As a UI designer myself, I am often annoyed by this small but easily fixable thing. I have made examples in Photoshop to illustrate my explanation: My home automation tab ("project") is a good section to demonstrate this with, as it consists of many many tasks. This causes me to have to scroll quite a lot. And I have

When exporting items from a Project, could they please be placed into relevant sub folders please? This would make it easier finding items when exporting lots from different projects. Maybe as a toggle in case others don't want this?

Thank you!

In short, with the bigger end in mind it's for implementing machine learning (artificial intelligence); but here I am talking about making Tasker to write itself and what it enables to do.

Should accentuate that the main idea here is not directly about adding machine learning capabilities to Tasker. The main idea of this one is more about enabling Tasker to be able to do some of those basic things that are needed for users to build own AIs if they want to. What I talk about in this post will enable bunch of things. And it also provides fundamental groundwork for

When editing code you might sometimes find that what was originally a condition on a single action actually needs to apply to multiple actions, or that an If block that used to be bigger now only contains one action.

As you commented on this suggestion (sorry, I can't find a way to link the comment directly), the solution to the first part is often to use an If block instead. However the conversion can currently be cumbersome to do by hand, especially for complicated conditions. And Tasker is all about automating stuff, right? :)

I think it'd be nice if

Currently, if we want to filter an array we need to use %var(#?pattern), then loop over the indices returned and construct a new array. Another suggestion already exists to get rid of that loop by allowing %var(1,5,7) to return an array with just those indices and I agree that'd be a nice improvement. There it is then suggested that we could then use %var(%var(#?pattern)) to filter an array. However, I think for that special case we can do even better.

We currently already have %var(#>)/%var(>) and %var(#<)/%var(<), where the version with # returns the index and the other the value,

Tasker and Autotools feedback

Environment

I'm using Tasker v2.9.3.beta and Autotools v2.2.3 on android 10 MIUI.

Problem (bug probably)

I used the Autotool SSH action, which should return the a result after sending a command using ssh. The problem is it either return an error, nor a result, the result variable is empty. The same ssh command ran in a normal terminal has the expected result. I recorded a video for this.

Suggestions

I'd like to suggest that two actions should be integreted to tasker:

• SSH

• File dialog

SSH

For many people, SSH is a really unreplaceable and important tool,
