On the newer Samsung phones, Bixby has access to many system settings that are not available without root.  It would be great if we could send commands to Bixby.  Maybe using intents or Bixby "Type to Bixby" function.

If you use any Tasker permanent notifications in any of your tasks, and then decide to disable tasker while they are still showing, they can't be removed unless manually done in tasker. So it would be great if tasker had an event Monitor that would perform a task whenever tasker is dosabled manually either in app or from the quick notification buttons. 

Hi,

Currently when a notification is intercepted, vars %evtprm1 %evtprm2 %evtprm are populated but none contains the package name of the application that originated the notification.

Can you add this info in %evtprm4?

Thanks

Its great that Tasker can create files and backups, but due to potentially sensitive data that could be in the file or the backup it would be useful if Tasker could offer the option to encrypt that data so its protected while stored at rest.

The option to encrypt always increases processing overhead so that should be a consideration when opting to enable the feature.

The option to decrypt the file could be done within Tasker itself, but that would make that created file unable to be decrypted by anything other than Tasker.  Ideally an open source utility or industry

I have exited tasker so many times with the back button on the wing screen. An option to add 'Are you sure? before exit would be great.

I'm using tasker for years now and I'm very happy with it. But one thing Is missing I could never fix whatever I did:

There is no option to define a Profile-Rule like "When I'm outside of that area". I know the following workaround: Define a geofence and only add an outgoing task.

But that method brings some problems.

1. It's not combineable with other conditions:

I always add another condition on top of the ruleset, to make sure that the geofence is only checked when other variables have the expected value. This is important because they will be checked

When you have many projects, scrolling left and right between them is a pain, especially if you can't remember exactly where a project is positioned relative to the rest.

It would be good to have some sort of project browser, allowing filtering and sorting, etc.

In Action: Variable Query and Lock ('Allow Cancel' enabled), when you close a querying popup by back button or by 'X' button on the popup, there's no way to continue the task coming after those actions.

Support for Tasker on Android TV. 

- Download / Update via PlayStore

- Opening without Sideload Launcher

- DPI adjustments, so the top bar with burger menu isn't cut off on some devices

- Bonus: usability with tv remote

- Bonus: ability to recognize / simulate tv specific keys like input or netflix

For example, the 'Say' action accepts variables for the 'Text', 'Engine', 'Pitch', and 'Speed' parameters, but uses only spinners and checkboxes for the 'Stream', 'Respect audio focus', and 'Network' parameters.

It would be great if all parameters in all actions could be controlled by variables.

Problem:

Per-action conditions set in the "If" section at the bottom of the action edit screen are reset when a different action is chosen using the "switch action" (anticlockwise arrow) button at the top of the action edit screen.

When this would a problem:

I have a block of if/else statements, but I want to add a new condition and result as the *first* possibility in the list to be checked. This means I need to change my 'if' to an 'else', and put a new 'if' before it. However, when I change the 'if' to 'else' I have to

Add the option to use variables for Cmd and App in Media Control Action. Then I could use the same generic Media Control task for a lot of actions, while currently I need to implement several one depending on some other parameters I check.

When adding new groups to help organize profiles, tasks, and scenes, the new profile is added all the way to the right. When dealing with many groups, the new group would have to be moved if there order of the groups were to be organized. Moving a group requires long-clicking then choosing to move it left it right. This is a pretty tedious process.

Better would be to add the new group to the right of the group that was long-clicked. Allowing drag and drop off groups would also help.

The screen shot shows how the icon half obscures the last section on the bottom of the screen. To be honest the whole placement looks a bit bodged, there is lots of space in the title bar for that icon (between the search icon and the Tasker word) Wouldn't it be a better use of space to insert the + icon there?

Another alternative then would be to place the + icon before the house icon on the bottom row with a separator between. The point being that the + icon isn't obscuring any other items or text like it

Text SMS already has this facility to break up > 150 character long SMS and send it as a multipart message, so the recipient just sees one large mesaage.

However, sending a data/binary SMS, we are limited to 133 bytes due to the UDH informing it's binary and anything larger, the SMS fails.

With Android P further making restrictions to WiFi scanning and it being pitiful at best in N+ (thanks, Google), is there any chances of a root based workaround using "iw" command on the shell? This not only will allow us to perform wifi scans whenever, but will also yield far more data (WPA/WPS/HT/etc).

This would avoid the need for a Javascriptlet

var cret = "\r"

and adding %cret at the end of write file data when append newline is ticked, or

var crlf = "\r\n"

and %crlf at the end of write file data.

Every time I try to choose an Icon for my Tasks, I can choose "Local Media". However, this always takes me to Android's default gallery, which we all know how good that is. Is there any way to change this. 

For example:

From within AutoTools configs, I have the option to choose ES File Browser among the many other options. This also allows me to import images from the Cloud or LAN.  When choosing an icon for a specific task, "Local Media" does not offer the same options in the gallery. I'm not sure this affects all Android default

in and for tasks and profiles
