    Add an option in "Set Variable" to designate it as a PROJECT variable or a TASK variable

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    There is currently no way to programmatically create project or task variables. Only global variables or fleeting local variables that don't persist when the task ends. If you want something to be a task variable or project variable, you have to create it by hand within the gear menu for a task or project.

    PLEASE add a "storage" option when setting a variable that allows us to designate a variable as a project or Task variable. This would enable the programmatic creation of these variables.

    UI usability and readability improvements

    Senliast · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently, names of profiles, tasks, scenes and variables are cut off if they are too long. If there are many of them and you categorize them (for example with dashes in the name) - it becomes hard to differentiate between them, because you have to edit the name to read it fully. Therefore, i suggest to make them either running or wrap in multiple lines if too long (in all 4 tabs).

    Additionally, i suggest to put the values of variables under its names instead of right from it (on the "Vars" tab), because these can be long as well

    Notify action live update issue on lock screen / AOD

    MichiGigaByte · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    I'm writing to report an issue with the "Notify Live Update" action on my Google Pixel 10 Pro. Currently, the notification content is not appearing on the lock screen or the always-on display.

    I believe this is due to the "Show sensitive content on lock screen" setting being disabled.

    Would it be possible to add a checkbox on the action that allows users to specify whether a particular notification's content should be treated as sensitive or not?

    I have attached screenshots of my lock screen both with and without the sensitive content setting enabled for reference.

    Feature Request: Back Navigation Button in Tasker's Main Menu

    Rashad Pitsenbarger · 0 · Posted

    Hi João, per your reply on reddit to add a ticker here... I am hoping you would consider extending the back button navigation you introduced in Scenes v2 to the main Tasker navigation menu as well.

    Currently, navigating two or three levels deep into a submenu, only to realize you are in the wrong place, requires returning all the way to the three dots menu to start over. A small back button at each menu level would resolve this and meaningfully reduce friction for frequent users.

    Given that the component already exists in Scenes v2, this feels like a natural

    Better documentation on back up

    Rich D · 0 · Posted

    Currently there is  no help text "anywhere" for the correct method to back up data for install on new device. Both the android back up and Tasker's back up should have some "Very Clear" help text on how to get your Tasker data to a new device or just save it for a fresh install on the current device. It should be noted what is and is not backed up with each method. IE currently global variables and all saved projects, profiles, tasks, scenes in there respective folders are not saved in the Tasker Back up. I do not know

    Manuel focus for the « take picture »

    Nicola · 0 · Posted

    On my previous phone (moto G3), when I set infinity focus on “Take picture” that work really great. But on lot of new phone I tested, infinity focus mode on the take picture feature make blurry photos. 

    After some search I undertending that the range on the focus is no limear. So for exemple if we define the begin of the focus range at 0 and the end at 1000 : 0 focus on a medium point, 250 on infinity and 1000 on the nearest point. 

    So it will be very useful to have a manual focus paramètre where we

    Accessibility Service Permission optional for Notification clicked event

    Agraetz83 · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Notification Clicked Event only needs Accessibility Service Permission if you want to read notifications put up by other apps. In Kid App development this event is often used to read notification clicks on notifications the Kid App put up itself. If you add this event to your app, tasker adds the accessibility service permission to the manifest and there is nothing you can do about it atm. 

    Unless you fancy fighting with Google and receive the threat of a permanent ban, you can't use accessibility service permission in apps you want to upload to the store.

    I suggest the

    Tasker notification dark mode

    The permanent foreground notification in the Android status bar, is white and doesn't change with the Tasker dark mode settings. The Wunderground weather app has an example if you'd like to see. Thank you!

    Application profile app. selection as variable or scene

    Mika Sivula · 0 · Posted

    It'd be great to have an application profile that you could modify in scene or/and variable also. This way you could do for example a game/childrens/visitor etc. profiles and you could edit apps selected as a trigger.

    I was doing a blocker app for my kids phone so that it would block the screen every time he would start certain apps in his phone. I was doing it with Tasker App factory but couldnt do it because there is no way to select the apps which trigger the tasks. Same goes on many apps made with app factory that require

    Can Tasker be added with these 4 basic actions for TCP?

    Zohar · 0 · Posted

    Hi

    Currently Tasker does not have basic TCP actions, for Connecting, Sending, Receiving, and Disconnecting.

    The closest thing it has, are the HTTP GET and POST (and HEAD..) actions, which might be problematic for sending files, since I don't know If I can use them to send a 15MB file for example, in one HTTP GET/POST..

    Can Tasker be added with these 4 basic actions for TCP?

    TCP_Connect(HostnameOrIP,Port) TCP_Disconnect()

    TCP_Send(Data) TCP_Receive()

    Thank you very much

    Would it be possible to have more date options to be used in Contexts?

    For example every 4th Friday in a month, or the first or last Sunday each month?

    Allow bigger/more log files

    Agraetz83 · 4 · Last reply by Agraetz83

    Atm tasker saves up to two log files of ~2mb before overwriting them. This means depending on how much you're doing with tasker, they might not reach far back. In my case there's only 2h worth of data (extensive looping) and this makes debugging quite a challenge. 

    I'd like if we could increase the log size if necessary.

    "Light" theme with windowLightStatusBar enabled

    Rodrigo Souza · 1 · Last reply by Scott Almond

    Default Light theme would be much better off with a white status bar using dark icons.   Also would be cool toolbar items ('Tasker' tittle, 'Search' icon and 'Overflow menu' icon) in accent color, following the trend of Google's new design. Something like the Settings app on AOSP Oreo.

    Root for internal File Manager

    Robin · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hi, 

    The internal Tasker file Manager has no Access (on Oreo and maybe other Android Versions) to /system or /sys. I think this is because it is not using root to Access it.

    So it would be nice to get a Feature like that to watch System files (Tasker functions are "File opened/closed")

    Thanks

    Export plugins actions in kid-apps

    Maher Tayara · 0 · Posted

    I think you should make new optional protocol for plugins to allow giving something like modules to tasker when exporting kid-apps (not always)

    And don't make it essential for every single action... so it will be easy for developers to implement

    Plugins developers may offer it as purchase from store

    I know it's a hard or maybe something semi-impossible but this will make plugins really useful in kidapps as they are not at all now..

    Global variable for audio channer "BT Voice" is missing

    Willy · 0 · Posted

    I see that Tasker provides actions for the following audio channels / variables ...

    Alarm ...% VOLA Average ...% VOLM Notification ...% VOLN Ringer ...% VOLR System ...% VOLS In-Call ...% VOLC DTMF ...% VOLD BT Voice ... Could it be VOLB?

    I suppose it will not be very complicated to implement.
