    Please add action Run SL4A in app This would make Tasker one of the most desired apps, imagine how much people would want to generate an app in Python, Lua and etc without having a computer

    A way to vastly improve debugging (also regarding problems that current ways of debugging have)

    anonymized · 1 · Last reply by thomas

    When complexity increases, meaning when a lot of sensors are included and they all talk to each other to reach certain outcomes, then as to what is going on when it operates there is little to no feedback as to what is needed, in order to understand what is going on.

    So with such, there's little to no help, for instance, from RunLog. The best I know is to add voice feedback all over the place to try to make sense of the flows, but I figured it would be great to dramatically improve Tasker with greatly helpful feedback system,

    Need a way to default scene dimensions.

    Simon Pham · 0 · Posted

    In the scene element, have a way to make the Landscape dimensions default to the same as Portrait. Currently, it is not allowing me to erase the values and leave it blank. It is time consuming to through hundreds of elements to input the W x H, for each scene AND each element.

    Why does Image rotate only allow 45-degree increments? Can you allow us to rotate to any degree?

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    I am working on a task where rotating an image by 45 degrees is nowhere near precise enough.  I need more precision with the rotation within the scene, since it is mean to follow the orientation of the phone.

    The functionality I'm trying to recreate is somewhat similar to a compass: no matter which orientation the compass is turned, its arrow always accounts for it and rotates relative to the frame, so that it always points north.  Similarly, I want to be able to rotate an image in a scene so that it accounts for the orientation of the phone

    Visually indicate where a dragged item will be placed in a list.

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    https://i.imgtc.com/PKYFbEb.gif

    Do you see how when I drag layers around in Photoshop, it clearly shows where the layers will be placed when I release them? It highlights the space between the two destination layers as a visual cue to show me where my dragged layer(s) will land.

    Tasker doesn't have any visual indication of this!  As a result, at least half the time I drag my tasks/scenes/profiles, they end up in the wrong place because there is no visual indication of where I need to drag them to move them where I want!

    Please add a visual indicator along the

    Native support for BLE in Tasker

    Massimiliano Bariola · 2 · Last reply by Stefan

    Hi, Bidirectional BLE Integration in Tasker would be awesome for makers and hardware dabblers, it could make Tasker even more interesting to us.

     

    I think these would be the features that would be needed: 1) Have Tasker connect on some bonded devices when they are within range (currently available via Plugin BLE AutoConnect) 2) "listen" on specified service and characteristic UUID for "notifies" so to trigger profiles, 3) BLE-Write to a specified characteristic. Cheers!

    Option for buttons in AutoNotifications to immediately dismiss the notification

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    Most of the time when I press a button on an AutoNotification, part of the button's action is to dismiss the notification. However there is quite a noticeable lag between pressing the button and notification removal, since the process has to go from AN, to Tasker, through a task, and back to AN. On my Samsung s5 this takes a couple of seconds, but I'm sure it would still noticeable on newer devices too.

     

    I propose an additional boolean option for each notification button: "Dismiss notification on button press"

     

    The behaviour would be to send the specified command

    Add 'Known WiFi'-option to WiFi Near

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    It would be nice to have an option in WiFi Near to check if there's a known WiFi available. With this it would be possible to do profiles like:

    On event 'Display on' AND WiFi Near (known WiFi) => Turn on WiFi

    Scrub private info from tasker shares

    Michael Degatano · 0 · Posted

    I was hoping to use taskernet to share some of my recent Tasker work but I can't because it uses a lot of AutoRemote. When I export my shares to XML and take a look at them it appears the AutoRemote Send Message steps include my unique IFTTT Webhooks identifier as well as the password I use for my messages. And as far as I can tell there's no way to use a variable for those particular data points so that info could be moved out of the action data and into variables (which aren't part of the share). Can

    Possibility to select a certain type of apps instaid of a certain app

    Wael Talaat · 0 · Posted

    .I was wondering if it is possible to add a section in profiles (application) in order to select all apps of a certain type of apps the type may be news ,tools,maps,photograghy,puzzles ,… etc.

    This is useful to make profiles such as one to enable wifi if a news app is opened or to enable silent mode if a certain type of apps is opened like games.etc,.

    Possibility to interact with scenes on the lockscreen

    josephlegrand · 3 · Last reply by josephlegrand

    By now, we can't interact with scenes placed on the lockscreen, because they are in overlay mode. But other applications, like Floatify for example, are able to display informations on the lockscreen, and allow the user to interact with it without unlocking the smartphone (like answer to a sms). Why is that feature not available in Tasker if it is possible in other apps?

    blocking notifications by subtext (spotify e.g)

    Andy · 0 · Posted

    autonotification is able to block by title or text, but sometimes it would be useful to block by subtext (marked with red box). this way the spotify notification wouldn't pop up on all devices with the same account, but only on the one you are listening on.

    Option for 'IF' and 'FOR' actions to have 'End If' and 'End For' actions attached right below when created.

    inguscrowe · 1 · Last reply by Matt Burns

    When I'm creating a task and use an 'IF' or 'FOR' action I always have to immediately go back and create the 'END' action accompanying it because if I don't the rest of my task falls into the IF statement. This is really annoying and it has on several times screwed up my tasks and I don't realize it till I'm already using the task in real use cases.

    Many times I have multiple If statements nested inside each other and I loose track. So it would be great to have like a checkbox option to create the 'END' action

    TeamDrive support for Google Drive actions

    Zachary Denny · 0 · Posted

    Business Google Accounts include the use of "TeamDrives" in addition to the standard "My Drive". TeamDrives are just like"My Drive" except they are designed more for collaboration.

    This is all part of Google Drive and it's API but Tasker seems to default to only access the "My Drive".... Please allow support for accessing TeamDrives

    Allow the creation of empty profiles

    Mhart · 1 · Last reply by Scharkieh

    A simple request. Just as you can create a task without assigning it to a profile, please can we create a profile without being forced to assign a task to it. Yes, I know the profile won't 'do' anything as there is no task, but sometimes having it there is a handy placeholder and provides structure when developing a project.

    Make tasks involving paid services flash a notification by default

    dafzor · 0 · Posted

    Add a option on payed services (sms, calls, etc) to flash a notification when used and have it enabled by default (option to deselect).

    This would be a safety net to avoid "rogue" tasks from racking up additional charges without the user being aware.

    My particular case was having a task continue to run due to issue https://tasker.helprace.com/i498-stop-doesn-t-work-when-making-recursive-task without me being aware since there's no visual feedback outside of tasker that it was still running, all while racking up insane communication charges (in the thousands).

    I just want to avoid anyone else to have to go through the same situation.

    Add more features on Taskernet

    Ooker . · 1 · Last reply by Flenser

    I have some questions on Taskernet:

    • Why is the HTML description only displayed in a box?
    • Why not build it to be a place to discover new projects, where people can vote and comment?
    • Why can't scenes be exported?

    Take a look at the similar sharing site for Anki software. It has search function, categories, rating. If you take a look at a particular project (mine for example), you will see that it has votes, comments, description of the author (with no box), and raw data of the project.

    2 Small Suggestions for Action "Take Screenshot"

    Zohar · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hi

    My phone's display resolution is 1920x1080. When I use the Take Screenshot action, a .PNG file is created, and its size is 3.1MB.

    I would like to suggest 2 small options for the Take Screenshot action:

    The first: Resize: will have 2 possible values: 50%, or 25% so choosing "25%" for example, will make the image file's resolution 480x270, instead of the original 1920x1080. this already will decrease the file size by 75%...

    The second: File Type: will have 2 possible values: .PNG, or .JPG so choosing .JPG, will further decrease the file size, and choosing .JPG is relevant
