    Feature request: an option to turn off the display *with* fade-out ?

    Soudane GMTA · 0 · Posted

    In the "help" text for the display Turn Off action, we have the following text:   "On some devices it takes about 3 seconds for it to really turn off, on others it might take around 10 seconds. Either way, a fully black screen will be shown while the screen doesn't really turn off."   Could we have a new option for the Turn Off action which would allow the display to fade out without it being covered by the black screen? Sometimes, this fade-out behavior is desirable when the display is being turned off.   Thank you very much

    Ability to set AVRCP text info from tasker itself (while tasker has grab of media button events)

    Alok Bhai Sahu · 0 · Posted

    The ability to grab audio focus to intercept media button events is very good but while tasker has audio focus auto tools or autonotification can't set the avrcp text (like a custom track name etc.) .So, please add the ability to set avrcp text from tasker itself , that would be very very useful , and I'll be very grateful .

    "Enforce Task Order" for Different-Profile Tasks

    Randy · 0 · Posted

    "Enforce Task Order" should apply not only to same-profile tasks, but also to "different-profile" tasks.

    Or alternatively there should be a variant of Enforce Task Order for different-profile tasks. The execution order should be FIFO (First In, First Out) through and through ; Or even better, choosable, e.g. there's also LIFO, LILO, etc. .

    The reason / intended usage is analogous to what the reason of the current Enforce Task Order for same-profile tasks would be. The current Enforce Task Order creates orderliness in the scope of profile. The proposed Enforce Task Order wants to create orderliness in the scope

    Can you add a progress bar on notifications without AutoNotification app? Just like the Progress Bar dialog, but in notification. Thank you so much!

    Theming UI enhancements

    Paul M · 0 · Posted

    I have a couple of ideas for UI theming:

    1) Material You theme selection should include an option to have a 'light' main screen instead of the dark it defaults to. I'm guessing it's taken from the overall display setting on the device. 

    2) Selecting a colored theme, for example, Tangerine, should keep the navigation bar that same color instead of black. It lends to a nicer aesthetic and is similar to Material You theming.

    Read-Ahead Caching for Run Log [Low Hanging Fruit]

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    Scrolling through the Run Log is painful, particularly when searching for text — it clearly only tries to load the next pane of results when the user requests the control to scroll down. Instead, Tasker should read-ahead continuously (up for about 10 seconds or N rows) until the user backs out of the Run Log.

    Add task to desktop from the Tasks tab

    It would be pretty convenient to be able to long tap on a task and then select an option that puts the selected task on the phone home screen (desktop)

    Action to Disable Allow External Access

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    For security lockdown/hardening of one's phone — particularly in an age where blackhats and LEOs are able to remove fully-"secured" lockscreens on most phones in a matter of seconds — it would be ideal to be able to REVOKE Tasker's permission to "Allow External Access" via a Task Action. For example:

    • Add: Action
    • Category: Tasker
    • Action: Set Tasker Pref
    • Option: Disallow External Access
    • Make note: re-allowing external access can only be done manually.

    I'm regards to the last bullet point, I strongly discourage adding the ability to be able to ENABLE "Allow External Access" in any way other than manually,

    Add a STOP option to the Flash action

    StaffanT · 0 · Posted

    Often when debugging a task I use Flash to display status and variables, and many times, especially in loops, I also add a Stop action after the Flash. It would be handy to have a Stop option to tick within the Flash action itself. Yes, I'm lazy :-)

    AutoNotification - a Gmail notification button for "Read & Star"

    Ryan · 0 · Posted

    If it's easy to implement this, I'd love for it to be one of the button options.

    A seemingly more difficult but more user-customizable option would be for users to be able to assign an arbitrary number of actions to a single button (through checkboxes instead of radio buttons, e.g.) and then name the button.

    Action/Shortcut to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly

    Simsim · 0 · Posted

    Would be cool if we had a way to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly via shortcut or an action. So we can open them directly from a notification for example.

    Could be done via a new "Show Monitoring" action with option to choose between tasks, profiles and runlog. The "Show Runlog" action could be integrated in the "Show Monitoring" action.

    List Files Recursively

    Add option to the "List Files" to do its job recursively. To do this currently you need to use a bunch of For Loops, and it ain't pretty

    Passive location listeners

    randomuser · 2 · Last reply by randomuser

    I'd like to perform an action via passive location monitoring (i.e. the action is triggered with the new location when another application requests location). I believe this is possible via LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER.

    Inertial Scrolling in scenes

    Q · 0 · Posted

    If you create a scene including an editable text element, you'll be able to scroll through the text once the characters exceed it's dimensions. This is a useful feature, but it would be even better, if it supported inertial scrolling, so you could scroll a significant distance with just one quick swipe instead of the page stopping once you lift your finger off the screen. Incidentally, this is already possible for uneditable text elements, where you can set the "Vertical Fit Mode" to either cut off the text, reduce the font size or allow inertial scrolling.

    Constants as complement to Variables

    StaffanT · 0 · Posted

    Constants could, for example, be useful to allow data to be shipped as part of a kid app. Today it seems very difficult to include data such as pictures, sound files, or whatever in an app, as they need to be downloaded dynamically from somewhere once installed on a target system (or maybe I'm wrong there and there are better ways to do that). In any case Constants would need to be able to hold a lot of data to be useful, not be limited to 4K as I think is the case for Variables. Of course, the size of

    Greyscale mode/ Bedtime mode toggle

    On my z fold 4 there is a Bedtime mode that turns the screen greyscale. I have not found a way to automate this through tasker. The Zenmode custom setting doesnt do anything.

    A simple checkbox for flash action.

    WhirlWolf · 1 · Last reply by Smit Boss

    A simple checkbox on most of the actions that will make all output variables automatically flash when the action is ran.

    Eliminate headache of creating and deleting flash actions especially for debugging and testing.

    SPLIT MODE

    JSO · 0 · Posted

    I am thinking it could be stellar to have in Tasker a split mode (two windows), so we could easily copy/past actions from a task to another, nevermind the project ! (as in a file manager app, like  SolidExplorer app if you know this one )
