    Add Ability to Add Task Callers to Android Copy/Paste Menu

    KyleK29 · 1 · Last reply by Cerberus

    This is one area of Android I don't think Tasker has hooked into, infact many apps don't seem to hook into it, and I only became aware it was possible when I saw Anki do it (screenshot below). The menu I'm talking about is the selected text long press contextual menu that often has Copy/Paste/SelectAll (and occasionally Define) in it. This would serve as a quick way to copy text to a specific Task you want to use to process said test.

    A Google searched yielded this: Google Copy/Paste Menu

    I would suspect that there might be a way for Tasker

    Icon packs in Image picker

    A.C. · 0 · Posted

    When some apps (KWGT is one such example) need to prompt the user to select an image, installed icon packs (as well as other image sources like gallery apps) show up in the Open from menu. If the user selects one, he can search through the icon pack to select any icon in it as an image.

    However, when Tasker needs the user to select an image, the resulting file picker does not contain image sources in the Open from view. It's just a plain file picker.

    As it is now, user must extract icons from packs and place the

    Navigate into MicroSD and OTG for file operations

    Shane Duchock · 0 · Posted

    I would like more options for storage.  Backup to external MicroSD, OTG, or even cloud support would be nice. If the device becomes unbootable, external storage would be the only way to salvage a Tasker database.  Or if the device is lost, cloud storage would be the only hope.  Titanium Backup has this and it has bailed me out in 2 devices.

    don't check "Min Activate Signal Level" only when activating the WiFi near

    Fabio Spelta · 0 · Posted

    According to the documentation:

     

    http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/help/sh_wifi_near.html

     

    Min Activate Signal Level: the minimum signal strength to activate the context. It's ignored once the context is active.

     

    I think this is bad design. It should be checked along with any other possible causes to trigger or not the event. Otherwise it's not possible to choose to activate a task only as long as the condition is true - alias, as long as the device is at a certain range from an AP - and to stop when that is not the case any longer.

     

    Thanks for caring

    Brighter torch

    Rowan Begg · 3 · Last reply by Rowan Begg

    The torch toggle in Tasker is ok, but not very bright. To get full brightness you need to use a plugin such as Task Light (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight.tasklight)

    Could we please have full brightness torch?

    Select audio stream when using "Play music folder" feature

    Orxa · 0 · Posted

    Hi.

    I have been using the "Play music" feature, changing the output stream to "System".

    I would like to be able to use the "Play music folder" feature changing the output stream too, but this option does not exists on this one.

    Many thanks for your time and congratulations for your job.

    Have a nice day.

    Help clarification: SQL Query

    Two updates for Help for SQL Query: 1) the bit about "Selection Args" should say "Selection Parameters", and 2) it doesn't say what the delimiter for that field is: line breaks.

    [Bug?] Services not being detected

    Robert L Ryan · 0 · Posted

    In an application context, if I select services instead of activity the profile should be active when any of that application's services are running. See attached screenshot. I have the following profile:             

    Profile: Firefox Kicked (49)        

    Application: Firefox, Services             

    Exit: Anon (50)    

    A1: Notify

    Title: Firefox Kicked         

    Text: I got kicked at %TIME         

    Icon: null         

    Number: 0         

    Permanent: Off          Priority: 3         

    This is supposed to notify me when Firefox gets kicked out of memory. However, the context never becomes active. Not even if Firefox is the foreground application.

    Add option to BT connected profile to ignore specific bluetooth device(s).

    Steve Rothkin · 0 · Posted

    I have profiles (with both enter and exit tasks) that are enabled when any bluetooth device is connected. This is primarily to detect headphone and car connections and to also have certain actions that are commonly applied when disconnecting from any bluetooth headphone or car connection.

    I want these profiles to ignore certain devices (e.g. Fitbit watch, hearing aids). However, simply listing those and ticking Invert doesn't do the trick as those profiles then go inactive when I'm connected to the car and then I also get connected to one of those listed devices.

    What's really needed is to have

    Print the program lines of tasks to printer.

    Andre Piers · 0 · Posted

    Can you make in the menu of tasker the option to print the program lines. Reason: in case of complex and long task sequences, the overview is lost. To print out will help the programming of task (and error debugging). Thanks! Obrigado!

    better reordering of tasks

    Jacques Aucamp · 2 · Last reply by Shane Thompson

    Reordering of tasks should rather be done with a small grabber to the left of the task such as what is seen on other apps like KWGT.

    Allow the option of Variable Set to copy cleared variable

    Steve Waring · 0 · Posted

    Have a check box in Variable Set so that if assigning one variable to another and the source variable is not set (cleared) then the target variable is cleared, rather than set to the name of the source variable.

    This would stop the need for If SET Then assign Else clear EndIf sequences.

    The check box would only apply when the source is a single variable.

    Allow Color Choice For Disabled / Un-Powered Actions

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    As of Tasker 5.0+ when an Action in a Task has been disabled (un-powered) the only thing to designate it as so is an olive-drab color bar to the left of it. 

    (Color may be different depending on theme).

    HOWEVER this doesn't make it very obvious that the Action has been disabled.

    In the future - this bar color should be configurable in Preferences AND there should be an option to have that entire Action greyed-out.

    Covering an canvas on screen to simply draw then take screenshoot

    add an action on display: canvas

    Covering an canvas on screen to simply draw then take screenshoot

    just cover a global transparent floating window on the screen where users can simply draw lines with finger on it, such as drawing arrows, so users can quickly make illustration and circle the point on screen easily. just click "back" button, then it will disappear.

    It would be nice to be able to create polylines in map scenes by simply providing an array of GPS coordinates.

    Hello João!

    Do you think it would be possible to create an action to direct any sound to the earpiece?

    Exactly how does this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.Earpiece

    Listen to audio books and music through your phone's earpiece when you don't have earphones handy.
