    Nested state contexts

    4pda.ru · 0 · Posted

    Tasker supports grouping of states in profiles from the beginning. The enter task starts when all states become active, the exit task starts when one of the states become inactive.

    The notion of nested contexts proposed here changes the behaviour of the exit task only. Namely, contexts in a profile are ordered, there are broad contexts and narrow contexts, the exit task starts if a narrow context becomes inactive while all broad contexts are still active.

    For example let's consider simple profile

    profile HomeAtNight

    broad state Time from 22:00 to 6:00

        narrow state WIFI Connected HomeAP

            enter task

    Add Search and Delete to Notificatiom Category

    Robert L Ryan · 2 · Last reply by Robert L Ryan

    Currently the only way to assign a category is to manually type it in. This becomes tedious and error prone when several Notify actions share the same category.

    One solution would be to add a 'magnifying glass', which would allow selection of a previously defined category. Would this be possible?

    Would it also be possible to add a method to delete categories which are no longer being used?

    Data->Restore->User Local Backup should always be available as an option

    Brett · 0 · Posted

    A common use case for this request: 0) Freshly wiped device  1) Install and Launch Tasker  2) Try to restore recently downloaded local .xml backup file by navigating to Data->Restore Current implementation of the restore/backup feature is poorly designed as it is blocking this likely common use case. At least one other report of this "Feature" request was found: https://tasker.helprace.com/i356-manual-backup-only-creates-local-backup-and-restore-only-restores-from-cloud Original "Bug" Documentation: https://tasker.helprace.com/i462-tasker-bug-data-restore-user-local-backup-didn-t-appear-until-i-navigated-to-data-backup

    Project Export Without Including Profiles,Tasks,Scenes from Other Projects

    agnostic-apollo · 0 · Posted

    Can you add support for project export without including tasks/scenes/profiles from other projects.

    The problem is that say you have 3 projects. project 1 and 2 use common helper profiles,tasks and scenes which are all defined in project 3. Now if you export project 1 and 2 and share it with someone. They will only be able to import project 1 and importing project 2 will fail because when they imported project 1 all the helper tasks from project 3 were also imported, now they cant import project 2 because tasker already contains tasks with the same name.

    Moreover when

    Anchor Action Label Text

    agnostic-apollo · 0 · Posted

    The first line of the anchor text should be displayed as the Anchor Action's Label Text inside the Task List so that we know what the anchor is for. Anchors are mostly used for comments and goto statements, and their text should be shown so that the code makes sense more easily, otherwise anchors have to be opened to see what they are for. For people who dont want the text shown could maybe write the text starting from the second line or maybe an option can be added in tasker settings to show or hide it.

    Text Size of all Action Labels

    agnostic-apollo · 0 · Posted

    Can there be an option to change the text size of all action labels in the task list... I am talking about the following action boxes

    __________________________

    | Variable Set                         |

    | Name %name To %value     |

    __________________________

    Sometimes variable names are a bit long and hard to know which variable the action is using...

    Array set and push actions "Value" text field does not expand like it does in

    variable set actions. Sometimes you need to set a length string and the scrolling thing gets hard to see and edit

    New variable: Charging_State

    Usm · 1 · Last reply by Usm

    Today I wanted to write a task where I could check if the phone is charging or not and then do something based on that state e.g.:

         IF screen=off AND charging_state = non, THEN wiki-off

    When I take my tablet with me during travel, for some reason it starts to drain the battery when the screen is off and the wifi is on.

     I'm proposing a new variable: charging_state. It would have these values ac, usb, none, wireless

    These values can be taken from the built-in Power state.

    Creating multiple profiles to make up our own variable is

    AutoApps backup

    AutoApps data like commands, text processors and custom intents for AutoShare, AutoNotification blocked notification, AutoWeb apis, custom webscreen for AutoTools and settings for all the apps require manual involvement, making it automated with Tasker would be helpful.

    Stop enter and exit tasks as soon as state condition is changed

    Soumya Ranjan Mahunt · 2 · Last reply by Scharkieh

    Option for state context profiles to stop enter or exit task as soon as the conditions are changed and start executing the other. 

    For example an enter task is running and the profile conetext is changed then the enter task is stopped and exit task is run at once, and again on satisfying context exit task is stopped and enter task is run.

    Right now to do this the task has to be named and a stop action has to be added at the beginning of other. But doing this would reduce the clutter from naming the tasks.

    Update "browse files" so it doesn't requires an old outdated application

    DeStilleGast · 0 · Posted

    Currently the function requires an old application that is not found anymore in the play store. While the targeted api is now much higher and android now has a built-in function to select files and/or selecting directories. It needs to get updated.

    Sorry for poor description, my English isn't the best

    Actions that runs all tasks for a currently active profile

    mark filip · 0 · Posted

    It would be very helpful to have an action that runs all tasks for a currently active profile. I have manual tasks that, upon completion, change various settings (silent/bt off, wifi off) and when the task is complete the profile conditions may have not changed, so there needs to be something that checks which profile is active and re-run the task for that profile to "put things back" to the way they were.

    Specific angle

    Shane Duchock · 0 · Posted

    I would like to see Tasker recognize specific angles.  I have a stand that holds my phone on its side and tilted back just a bit.  Having tasker recognize that specific orientation would be nice.
