    More Variable Convert functions

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    We have in Variable Convert the following:

    - Date Time to Seconds: date can be in YYYYMMDD format or xx-yy-zz, in which case the positions of day, month and year are determined by Android preferences. So to code locale-independent you always have to use the first format YYYYMMDD hh.mm

    - Seconds to Date Time: returns the localized format

    But we don't have a native Tasker function to get from seconds the first format. So we would need a 'Seconds to Date Time (YYYYMMDD hh.mm)'

    Furthermore a 'Seconds to day nr of week' would be useful.

    269red · 1 · Last reply by 269red

    add an option "Motion Dedetion (on/off)" to Action "Set Tasker Pref".

    I badly need this to toggle it when I activate tasks working with BT Near Context.

    Increase size for the "runlog"

    269red · 0 · Posted

    It would also be great to increase the size for the "runlog" (which is about 250kB right now) which also just last about 3h in my case. (My tasker backup.xml has about 10500 lines of code ... so I asume me beeing a heavy user ;-). In my opinion it should be around 1MB.

    Update "Scenes" to work with Recents

    Brenden MacDonald · 0 · Posted

    João said the following the Tasker Google forum:

    • Unfortunately when the previous developers created scenes he made it so that they couldn't show up in recents for some reason I don't know yet. I would have to figure out why that is and potentially restructure the whole scene system so that it works properly.

    I have one idea of implementing this:

    1) Store last scene shown.

    2) Show that scene via the kid app's Persistent Notification.

    3) If possible, do return to the app or that last scene via the App Recents list. This is the most stock the experience

    Deafult Scene Editor Background Image (option to hide it)

    SmartPhoneLover · 0 · Posted

    This is a suggestion to apply in a future release. If possible.

    The topic is about the background image that appears in the scene editor. This image seems to be the one we could have as the default wallpaper for our device (Launcher).

    Well, unless we temporarily set the background of that scene to a solid color (black, for example), working with elements can be a bit confusing/annoying. Especially if we have "psychedelic", or any type of non solid wallpapers.

    I have attached two pics as an example: 1º: Current wallpaper I have set for my device.

    2º: Temporal black

    Distribute Tasker Protocol Extensions file as gradle dependency

    c5532327 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Gradle dependencies make it easier to receive updates and keep the repository clean.

    Can you distribute https://tasker.joaoapps.com/code/TaskerPlugin.java as dependency?

    This should be easy with https://jitpack.io/

    License of https://tasker.joaoapps.com/code/TaskerPlugin.java

    c5532327 · 0 · Posted

    Hey,

    I'd like to include the Tasker protocol extension in an app under Eclipse Public License 2.0.

    Since the https://tasker.joaoapps.com/code/TaskerPlugin.java file has no license information included, I doubt it would be legal to modify and re-distribute it.

    Can you add a license (maybe put this file under some free software license) to this file?

    Thanks!

    Dual SIM phones - cell ID search

    Pedro Matos Rito · 1 · Last reply by Varun Pilankar

    When searching for cells near using a dual SIM phone, tasker gets all cell IDs from both simcard connected networks.

    There should be a way to select the simcard for which to collect the cell IDs.

    For example for certain times/days to monitorize cells near (for SIM 1) and out of working hours cells near (of only SIM 2). Or to ignore a certain simcard when searching for cells (for example if the SIM we want to ignore is on roaming)

    Font and list size of profiles and tasks.

    Von · 0 · Posted

    There is currently a profile font size preference but the vertical size if the profile list items does not get any smaller. For example when setting profile font size to 12, the profile names become just small words within a still quite large row.

    Be able to shrink the list of tasks in the same way.

    Allow multiple conditions of the same type, soecifically locations

    Von · 2 · Last reply by Randy

    The "location without tears" informs the user that low power conditions must be met before high power conditions are tested.

    It would be great if the low power and high power conditions in the same context could be net based and gps based *location* conditions.

    For example, two location geofences around the same center, a larger radius with net only, and a smaller radius with gps. The smaller gps radius would only be checked if the larger net only radius was already matching.

    This would also be generally useful for any type of condition to relax the current restriction. Another

    AutoNotification - Please add a Check-All checkbox above the list of APPs in the Ignore APPs list

    Argyrios Derlopas · 0 · Posted

    Hi, As per my understanding, Ignore APPs list is there to help us minimize resource consumption of AutoNotification, making it possible to only check notifications coming from the APP that we are building some logic and ignore the rest. That would mean that usually we would need to check all the APPS except the ones that we will be building logic for. That's a hell of a data entry (if you have 150 APPS installed like me for instance), so I believe AutoNotification would benefit from adding one check-all checkbox above the list of APPs, to automatically check all APPs

    get Tasker version and device information

    schlimbo · 0 · Posted

    Can you please add global variables for:

    - Installed Tasker version

    - Device Firmware version

    -Date of security patch 

    This information would be very helpful for self created logfiles in Tasker projects.

    Make more Javascript libraries supported by default in Tasker!

    Christopher Peralta · 0 · Posted

    I think having more Javascript libraries supported by default in Tasker would be a huge benefit to Tasker!

    For example:   

    This library, which provides NLP date parsing, would make it pretty easy to automatically add calendar events by parsing sentences such as: "We have a meeting at 6 on Tuesday".  

    Not sure if there are any copyright issues, but this is my one idea worth sharing.  

      Edits:

    In other words: Here are the default libraries in Tasker, I just want this list to be longer.

    A suggestion from /u/EllaTheCat on /r/tasker is to just add a load library action,

    trigger by clapping and snapping fingers

    JEIEL SILVA · 0 · Posted

    I have an idea I suggest the developer add the following feature would be interesting if it were possible to trigger a task through a trigger triggered by a simple clap Either with the snapping of fingers picking up the sound generated through the palms or snapping the fingers through the microphone obviously and with that the task assigned to that respective trigger would be started.
