    Allow Quick Settings Actions on lock screen

    Philipp B · 0 · Posted

    It would be very useful to be able to use Quick Settings Actions when the device is locked. As for security concerns there could be a toggle in preferences to dis-/allow this behaviour.

    Hotspot event

    Add the ability to detect if the hotspot was toogled on or off and create profiles based on them. This will bring the possibility to enable/disable other profiles that might be turning the network off.

    Thanks

    ...  future use, so allow total hide out of sight, for disabled items. Would be rather meaningful improvement because I search constantly items and there's like huge clutter of disabled items (but don't want to delete as many of them are good raw material of sequences of usefulness for future use!) so hiding them from search (as default option, or to be able to choose if I want to search for disabled or enabled) and also allowing to hide disabled items from task view, so perhaps default being hidden, and button tap could bring them out, etc, or something like

    HTTP Request through a proxy

    Danil · 0 · Posted

    Route a HTTP Request through a proxy like it can do with a CURL. For example this is necessary to send requests to blocked servers. In Russia is a blocked api.telegram.org. If I need to send a message from my bot, I must be use a VPN or i need do http reruest with a curl through a proxy. I think there are a lot more uses for that.

    Support for LG's Dual Screen devices.

    Vincent Waters · 2 · Last reply by Nico Roets

    LG's Dual Screen V50 and upcoming G8x could use a little love. "Second Display On/Off, "Second Display Connected/Removed" (ie, Dual Screen Case Accessory Attached), and "Dual Display Case Closed/Opened/Opened 360°" would be helpful event triggers, along with the ability to specify if an event should trigger if the conditions are met on either screen, or on a specific screen. The Device can tell when any of these conditions are met, but there are no relevant event triggers that I can find in the Tasker Dialogues. Additionally the ability to target a specific screen when committing an action would be nice.

    import multiple files (of same of different types tasks, scenes, projects...)

    Xavier Novella Sinde · 0 · Posted

    Internet is raging about the incapacity of adding multiple files into tasker. Some geniuses have used tasker to create multiimport tasks with autotools (https://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?threads/easy-tasker-import.7729/) - good meta-tasker-stuff, indeed. However, would you consider the possibility of importing many files at the same time?

    Please note that multiple import may be solved if this other feature request was considered:

    https://tasker.helprace.com/i679-tasker-working-folder-to-sd-insteady-of-inside-system-xml-editing-and-other-boosts

    The above "folder based approach" would also hellp with "merging backups".

    Tasker working folder to SD insteady of inside system - XML editing and other boosts

    Is it possible to have an option for managing the projects from the files (windows or Android files explorer) rather than from the tasker UI (by dragging and droping them in limite way)?

    If you have to move many files or manage many projects, having the oportunity of handling files in a folder estructure, it would be much faster.

     

    Now, the files are in the system folder and they are only rooted-reachable, if they are not a database, they may be present inside the root folder as they are in the export folders--- Some XML files in their assigned

    Ability to change time zone

    John Songer · 0 · Posted

    I live near a time zone border, and need to keep it locked to the correct one at home, but I'd like it to be local time when I'm not.  Secure Settings allows me to enable & disable auto_time_zone, but then time_zone is wrong, and changing that setting doesn't affect the phone's time..  I need a feature that sets a specific time zone.

    Ability to choose time format

    I prefer using tasker in English, but changing the language also changes time format to 12 hour. I am not used to it, my country uses 24 hour format and that is what I am used to. So you can imagine how much of a pain it is to set events based on a time. Could you please add the option to choose time format in future releases?

    Chop Gesture

    I'd like a "chop" gesture, like the double-chop gesture Motorola uses for toggling the torch.  Similar to the action you would use with a small hatchet, or bouncing a hammer off the head of a nail.  Each "chop" is a short, abrupt, single shake down and back up.

    The gesture should have settings for:

    1. Sensitivity (how aggressive and/or fast the chop must be) 

    2. Number of "chops".

    The current "shake left to right" gesture doesn't work as a good replacement.

    Support mp4 videos in the Set Wallpaper action

    Jason Fournier · 0 · Posted

    Tasker currently only supports png and jpg image files in the Set Wallpaper action. Most modern phones now support live wallpapers, which are often .mp4 videos up to 15 seconds long.

    It would be nice to be able to support these .mp4 videos in the Set Wallpaper action.

    Library to support designing profiles in Python for programmers

    csibesz07 . · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    Ideas:

    • an easy to use library that supports designing custom automation logic in some programming language that will run in (indirectly) or on top (directly) of Tasker
    • Indirectly (main idea): using the Tasker's backup system, a support library and custom logic written in Python, should be able to output an XML that contains tasks and profiles
    • Directly: same as methods under Code action but more robust, (probably using indirect technique to inject script into action)

    I imagine that my whole tasker environment could be simplified to a Python project thats easier to understand, debug, maintain, comment, share and most

    Autoimport Projects and Profiles

    raddacle · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    While there is an import action to tasks and entire configurations, there is no way to import profiles or projects. Being able to autoimport profiles and projects would allow us to keep family member's devices updated through dropbox or google drive syncing/sending.

    Option for cooldown time to trigger last skipped event after cooldown time is over

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    An option for cooldown time to trigger the last skipped event (skipped during the cooldown time) after the cooldown time is over would be useful.

    E.g. there are many changes of %LIGHT when moving. In a profile reacting on changes to %LIGHT and adding a cooldown time of ten seconds Tasker will probably not trigger the entering of a completely dark area where %LIGHT will not change anymore because it's constantly 0. The above change would allow to use a cooldown time AND to detect the % LIGHT changing to 0.

    Separate settings for UI and help language

    bege · 0 · Posted

    The German help texts often don't contain all the information the English texts provide, and I guess it will never be possible to keep the translations fully updated. Therefore I'd like to have a German UI and English help texts. Would you, please, provide separate settings for UI and help language?

    "Add to Home screen" for tasks

    Amit Kotlovski · 3 · Last reply by Gan

    I use the KISS launcher which is a minimalistic take on launchers. No icons on the page except a bottom row of "favourites", and a search bar that searches installed apps, contacts, settings, etc. When using browser apps I can select "Add to Home screen" and that website is added as a "Desktop shortcut" which makes it available in the launcher search results. It would be great to have Tasker add tasks to the Home screen in this fashion! Widgets, btw, are not a good fit as the widget support is minimal (can add only one at a time, it takes up
