    File monitoring for root files

    roizcorp · 1 · Last reply by Ian Macdonald

    5.9.3.beta4 introduces the ability to trigger tasks upon file events, however though this is limited to files in the /storage partition (where tasker gets permission for). For rooted phones, I would like to be able to monitor any file (specifically in /data partition)

    Auto complete in global variable

    Dario Dias · 0 · Posted

    Selection of global variable set by tasker and the user from the search list is bit difficult when one has many variables set by the user. A drop down list or auto complete based on the starting alphabets would be of great help as the list would be small and easy to select.

    Project app drawer

    Sam Ingersoll · 0 · Posted

    Crazy idea in regards to the projects. What if you made it like a "dock" and "app drawer". Bare with me. So instead of scrolling right and left for projects you have a few (for me it's 6 before I have to scroll) projects always visible and if you swipe up on them like you would on a dock in a launcher it would open up an "app drawer" grid of projects.

    Restore backup.xml file in a task to load different configurations remotely

    Ivan · 1 · Last reply by pearhuman

    I think is a good idea the possibility to import/restore a backup.xml file to Tasker to load different configurations of Tasker. For example i send an sms with "load config 1" and tasker load the backup_config_1.xml saved in /sdcard/Download/.

    is a very useful feature, because i have an android in another place, and i can configure and customize remotely.

    Separate Logcat Action to eliminate run away processes

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    We can run Logcat via Code > Shell when permission is granted. However, it is easy to error the logcat command where the process will run away. e.g. typo "logcat notification" (a simple error) and Tasker will run logcat forever. We can pkill, but this can become an issue if Task limit is hit, Kill All wont kill the run away PID. Could there be a Logcat Action dedicated for this command please? That  way if a Kill All is done, it'll kill the logcat process too.

    Thank you.

    Add shortcut /widget from app created by App Factory

    Dario Dias · 0 · Posted

    I wanted to export some of my profiles and task as an app but I can select only one task as the launch app. I decided to have the launch task to launch a scene that helps me select which profile I need to set it on but also need homescreen shortcut of one task that when clicked, locks the screen (system lock). If app factory could embed widgets or shortcut  than that would help. And also package some external files like sound files in the apk created by App Factory.

    Option to prevent Tasker recognising state profiles being enabled/disabled as states being entered/exited

    Adam Benjamin · 0 · Posted

    Currently, if a task enables or disables a state profile while the relevant state condition is satisfied, Tasker recognises the state as being entered or exited. E.g. given a profile state %Var ~ true, if %Var is indeed set to 'true', disabling the profile triggers the associated exit task, even though %Var is set to 'true' still. The state has not been exited. While this may be useful at times, it's surprising behaviour, and if you're not aware it's how profile states function, it's difficult to isolate as the source of tasks not performing as expected.

    I've been trying to manage my sip settings.

    Damian Lavalle · 0 · Posted

    I've been trying to manage my sip settings on my phone using Tasker. You see, I have some settings in my calling accounts. You can see them if you open your phone app then go to the menu and settings and tap calling accounts. I know that these settings are often locked out or grayed out or inaccessible. That's cuz the carriers don't want people using free voip and would rather those options go away. Anyway, none the less I wiped my phones firmware and went with Lineage OS, which works great. Except it seems that dispite my being able

    Geofence Responsiveness

    Ricardo · 3 · Last reply by Ricardo

    Hi,

    It could be appreciated to add "Notification Responsiveness" feature for Geofences in AutoLocation. Responsiveness can improve power consumption by increasing the latency of geofence alerts.

    More info:

    Add Notify Icon Color by Manual Selection (URI)

    Ti-As · 0 · Posted

    Add possibility to pack color (#RRGGBB, aqua, red green, orange, ...) to a manual selected icon.

    If you select an icon by "Image Select" and then switch to manual selection - the button next to the generic icon table - you get the URI of the previous selected icon but can't add any icon color.

    Additionally "Image Selection" has no option to select a file by file manager.

    Background:

    I want to switch status bar icon by var if a condition is not/met. Color of status bar icon does not matter, but within the notification would be great.

    Priority: both

    Easy Setup for AutoInput Gestures

    Alap Kamat · 0 · Posted

    Just like the normal actions we can get guided into selecting the start and end points of a gesture, or even record it both at once. Having both the options of recording and individual point selection will be very convenient.

    Profile-scoped variables

    Michael Quinlan · 0 · Posted

    It would be great if we could have local variables scoped at the profile level, so that their values would remain available to the exit task for the same instance if the profile.  Ideally this would include user-defined variables, event parameters, variables populated by Tasker with event-related values, and those populated by plugins.

    Authentication Dialog with background blured, like recents.

     

    Because on WhatsApp, it's possible to see conversation behind Authentication Dialog.

    BLE broadcast feature

    Thibaut Renard · 0 · Posted

    Hello, It would be cool if it was possible to emulate a BLE peripheral to send data like heart rate for example. Possessors of bracelets with heart rate function (such as mi band) would be able to share it with other devices (connected bike home trainer or connected treadmill for example). The code to do this already exists (https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/ble-test-peripheral-android), and it would be amazing if it was integrated into tasker. Thanks.

    This will make it possible, using an audio channel over the air or through an audio cable, to exchange data with another phone or device, such as an arduino, without using additional purchased bluetooth or WIFI modules and refuse to use radio frequencies.
