    Allow user to log local variable names and their values, then view them on list dialog.

    urkindagood · 1 · Last reply by urkindagood

    Suggested feature.

    1. Log Variable Names, Their Values, and at which actions their values changed.
    2. Prioritize showing mentioned variables over generated variables. (Like in variable select list.)
    3. Bring user additional dialog to manipulate selected entry.
      1. Copy variable
      2. Copy values
      3. Bring to action where selected variable's value changed

    Something like this.

    Reason

    1. It's a unnecessarily recursive & stressful work to know variable values by flashing them one by one.
    2. It's frustratingly hard to find where the variables change for longer action lines, especially those who generated a bunch of variables.

    Benefit

    1. Inspecting variables becomes easier & convenient.

    Hopefully this could be implemented somehow.

    Add configure on perform task option for task variable

    urkindagood · 1 · Last reply by urkindagood

    If it's done like when user import a task for the firstime, it would make passing certain input far easier to child task.

    For the time being we have to pass input as parameter or variables then setup them on Perform Task.

    It's very unintuitive since Tasker doesn't provide necessary details about the child task.

    Activate logging seperately for a profile or a task

    Mart · 0 · Posted

    Make it possible to activate logging seperately for a profile or a task? In that case the logfile is't so big and it is easyer finding some entries.

    For example: With the installation of Tasker the logging is as it is now, but as an option make it in the settings of a profile possible to switch the logging of that profile off. If possible you can do that for the separate tasks also, but when the logging is switched off in the profile, the logging of the tasks from that profile are also off. But keep it possible to

    Custom location radius and shape, combining conditions, adding some events

    Marek · 1 · Last reply by Azek

    Custom location radius and shape:

    Some local areas like schools are not exactly 100m or 200m in size, nor are they perfectly circle, so I would like to see a feature to define custom radii when editing the location condition and a feature to create a custom shaped location, defined by 3 or more coordinates. This is because I don't want to turn on some profile when walking past my school.

    Combining conditions:

    Writing the first part, I realise that there is no feature to combine conditions like location and state, or time and event. This would be a quality

    Scene use of a temporary variable as Element Default value

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by Håkan Sjörling

    I have a scene containing a Number Picker element but I have found that I cannot set the default value using a temporary variable, as the keyboard only lets me enter digits. It would be good if a normal keyboard be displayed when selecting the default value field. This might apply to other element types as well. Thanks for listening.

    music track changed - trigger also when music is started in Tasker

    schrott97 · 0 · Posted

    the profile music track changed works when the change is due to an external media player. When you play music with Tasker using  the "Music Play" task, the profile does not trigger (and therefore the song metadata are not available).

    Stop multiple tasks with a timer or a kill function and limit number of parallel tasks

    A. · 1 · Last reply by Sunny D

    Hi João, 

    I kindly ask you to implement a feature to stop looping tasks or tasks running indefinitely long to stop after a specific period. (Just the other day I had a task running for more than two thousand seconds, although it usually just takes seconds.

    In addition, I would like to ask you to limit the number of parallel tasks to a given number. I need more than one or two tasks but only a few of the same tasks running at the same time. For the time being, I can only say to stop the current or the new

    [ Sockets ] - Add Profiles and Actions to use sockets in Tasker

    GlitchYou · 0 · Posted

    Could add sockets to give an extra extension to receive events and kind of allow the user to create new events

    I think it could have a profile with the event type (optional)

    And it returns maybe even in %evtprm

    I would also need an action to start/stop the execution socket with the address (optional with localhost by default) the port and other fields I may have forgotten

    With all the data that the user sent from any device by some language or by some action like send sockets to send with the event type and the information to be

    Expanded text field for variable value

    urkindagood · 1 · Last reply by Abhishek M

    Continuation from this reddit comment

    Can we have an option to expand text field for variable value in event context?

    https://i.ibb.co/fFPzDy0/1648669094.png

    It's hard to view the full value if it the text used is long enough

    Similar thig happen with variable search replace as well.

    [ Export Ignore ] - Ignore Profiles, Tasks or Scenes

    GlitchYou · 0 · Posted

    Could add a way to skip tasks of a project when exporting maybe with some configuration in the properties

    Because it is usually easier to create profiles, tasks and scenes to test the specific project

    Well, sometimes it takes a long time to go from one project

    option for a scene to have accelerometer-moving background

    André Kjellstrup · 0 · Posted

    Recently, Taskoer got lots of neat visual goodies.

    The one I miss is for a box to contain graphics (larger than box). Or smaller, tiled , graphics... 

    Then move it all based on acceleration (like some wallpapers do)

    Having such background option, would dramatically increase the eye-candy level of Tasker.
