    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 )

    Regarding the "Notify" action...

    Alan Rosen · 6 · Last reply by Alan Rosen

    Hi, thanks for all you do. I LOVE Tasker! Regarding the "Notify" action, would it be possible to change the parameters of the action so that a variable itself can be shown in the notification panel, rather than just an icon which then has to be dragged down to see the variables's text? In my case, I'm trying to create a simple app to show the current local temperature (itself) in the notification panel. Thanks again, Alan R

    Send Multiple Variables to 3rd Party Launchers

    DonS · 0 · Posted

    For Tasker users using a plug-in to send a variable to 3rd party apps, such as KLWP, KWGT, Total Launcher, and others, the process only allows a single variable for the action. To eliminate cumbersome loops, allow for entry/sending of multiple separated variables.

    An example of Tasker's Send Variable entry dialog might be:

    Tasker var: %var1,%var2 ...

    3rd party var: var1,var2 ...

    where 3rd party could be KLWP, KWGT, Total Launcher, or others.

    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
