    Support mp4 videos in the Set Wallpaper action

    Jason Fournier · 0 · Posted

    Tasker currently only supports png and jpg image files in the Set Wallpaper action. Most modern phones now support live wallpapers, which are often .mp4 videos up to 15 seconds long.

    It would be nice to be able to support these .mp4 videos in the Set Wallpaper action.

    Make more Javascript libraries supported by default in Tasker!

    Christopher Peralta · 0 · Posted

    I think having more Javascript libraries supported by default in Tasker would be a huge benefit to Tasker!

    For example:   

    This library, which provides NLP date parsing, would make it pretty easy to automatically add calendar events by parsing sentences such as: "We have a meeting at 6 on Tuesday".  

    Not sure if there are any copyright issues, but this is my one idea worth sharing.  

      Edits:

    In other words: Here are the default libraries in Tasker, I just want this list to be longer.

    A suggestion from /u/EllaTheCat on /r/tasker is to just add a load library action,

    An action to get the cordinates of the current fingers on the screen.

    Jackal Zhao · 2 · Last reply by Joe Cornelius

    I'm planing a useful task, but there is a crutial step, which is getting the current finger location on the screen, and see if the finger is touching on a specific area, then perform different actions. 

    I've searched many methods, but neither Tasker Actions nor Plugins can offer the touched location. I know that using Java Function (android.view.accessibility) might be able to do it, but it's a pity I'm not knowlegeable about java function.

    So here I wish Joao Dias could add Tasker an action of getting touched location. This action would bring greatly convinience for some scenes.

    auto save task when back button is pressed

    Frank G · 1 · Last reply by Garreth Tinsley

    I think it's happen to all of us : we are trying to make a new task and someone call us on phone, or we receive important message => after, bad habits maybe, we close all the programs running in background...and we close tasker and we lost all our work !! :'(

    The feature to auto save the task without clicking on the check mark on the top right side will be great

    what do you think ?

    PROFILES>>>Application。 Use package or application name global variable

    PROFILES>>>Application。 When the application is used as a trigger condition, the application selection hopes to support package name / application name filling like autoinput, support variable filling, and adds a search function to facilitate selection.

    New movement controls for projects/groups at the bottom of tasker

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    Currently, it is quite tedious creating a new project and moving it to where you want it to be if you already have several projects created. Everytime you hold in on the project and move it left, or right, it only moves one time and you have to repeat till you get the project where you want it with other projects. Would be sweet if you could hold and drag them where you want them, or have a move button that had a constant "left" and "right" button with a check mark next to them to move them where you

    "SSH support" and "File Dialog" request (also with a bug report)

    Tasker and Autotools feedback

    Environment

    I'm using Tasker v2.9.3.beta and Autotools v2.2.3 on android 10 MIUI.

    Problem (bug probably)

    I used the Autotool SSH action, which should return the a result after sending a command using ssh. The problem is it either return an error, nor a result, the result variable is empty. The same ssh command ran in a normal terminal has the expected result. I recorded a video for this.

    Suggestions

    I'd like to suggest that two actions should be integreted to tasker:

    • SSH

    • File dialog

    SSH

    For many people, SSH is a really unreplaceable and important tool,

    Encrypted backups

    Ralph · 1 · Last reply by Ralph

    As of now, tasker backups are stored in XML format and is naked. It would be great if it is encrypted or at least locked, below are my suggestions:

    • Encryted XML content with a key like RSA + optional passphrase
    • Zip the file and lock it with a passphrase

    No need to grant them all, at least our setup are locked.

    Please also force us to use strong passphrases. 

    JSON format would be great too since it would be smaller (I think) in size than XML format thus making the encryption or zip locking process a little bit faster

    SSH support can make Tasker more powerful

    Jackal Zhao · 2 · Last reply by John Ahmad

    Tasker is very powerful now, but certainly there are still many tasks Tasker can't do. Such as using ffmpeg converting a video, compressing a png image, run a python script, rotate a video, download a youtube video, etc. 

    It is so good that tasker can run Shell Code to use some command line tools that android supports. But the limitation is that android shell can not install  other powerful command line tools if you have no root permission. 

    Yet, there is another app called Termux( a terminal tool ) can run many Command Line Tools , such as : FFmpeg,

    Detect (changes to) status bar colour

    Adam Benjamin · 0 · Posted

    Sometimes when displaying scenes or web screens, it's useful to know whether the status bar is 'light' or 'dark'. While you can do find out using AutoInput's screen capture action, it's not very reliable or efficient, flashes a somewhat distracting black bar, and can't be used to detect changes between the two states.

    Add a dedicated action for audio routing

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hello Joao,

    I would like to ask you if a dedicated action to reroute audio from one channel to another could be included on future Tasker releases, if possible.

    The idea comes from the SoundAbout app, and my task where I have managed to do a basic routing using the Multimedia audio channel. (by now)

    As a reference to the task:

    Variable add and Variable subtract

    Craigs List · 1 · Last reply by Thenzkt

    Hi,

    Good day! I find "Variable Add" and "Variable Subtract" very useful especially the wrap around feature of them. It would be great if both ends are changeable as there are cases where the bottom number is not 0. For instance, if I could set the wrap around to be a range instead such as "1 to 7", "1 to 31", or "%par1 to %par2". I believe it would have greater flexibility if this is the case.

    Thank you

    Two ideas for the "List dialogue" action

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    1) Implement an easier way to add, remove, and organize things added to the list as an alternative to listing them all on one line followed by commas. A system that is similar to the menu element for scenes. Maybe even add the option to place icons next to each item in the list if the user so chooses. And to that end, maybe even add an indexing option that numbers all the things in the list to sort from in the idea below.

    2) An optional sort option that can be checked so that when the dialogue is showed,

    Option to toggle Tasker's use of metered connections

    iodidi · 1 · Last reply by Kasdif

    An option in Tasker settings, that toggles whether Tasker itself can use metered network connections, could be very useful.

    So, if the option "Allow Tasker to use metered network connections" is in the off position, Tasker itself will only use non-metered networks.

    For instance, I have a profile that uses the 'GD Upload' action every other day to upload a backup file, which is about a gigabyte. Since my mobile data limit for the whole month is 1 gigabyte, if at the time of the upload there is some issue with my wifi connection, the upload will use up my
