    Expand HTML features in scene text elements

    Scott Almond · 1 · Last reply by Amos

    Currently the "Text" elements in the scene creator allow for the field to be set to "HTML" instead of "Plain Text". This currently allows for adjustments of the text like size/colour/bold etc, programmed directly into the text field with HTML code. however, this is very basic HTML support and would like to expand the option to include CSS styles so that text can be altered further, for instance the below doesn't currently work in the text field.

    <p style="text-transform: capitalize;">%DEVMAN</p>

    Where %DEVMAN = device manufacturer. Since this is a global variable I don't want to have to create another variable

    Tasker to register for default SMS app

    Ian Grody · 5 · Last reply by Sam Cook

    Since Tasker has been green lighted for SMS/MMS, would it be permitted if Tasker could register as default SMS/MMS App?

     

    I suggest this idea as with the SmsManager class/objects, we could control SMS/MMS much more. This would include building our own SMS/MMS apps, backing up/restoring, organising and filtering as well as blocking/spam filtering. It would also allow us to see hidden short codes from those dodgy SMS spammers.

     

    Essentially, Tasker would just need to register it for now, rather than you make anything forward facing for it. Java could then do the rest. I for one would start

    iBeacon Scanning

    Darren Rockach · 4 · Last reply by ckollars

    Would it be possible to have a new action for scanning bluetooth iBeacons and returning information in variables such as mac address etc.

    Also the possibility of an action to scan for a specific ibeacons mac address with variable results stating whether it was found or not.

    A trigger would be good too. Maybe an 'if near ibeacon' with the ability to set the required ibeacon mac address. Also separate settings for scan times which would be set separately to the 'BT scan seconds' and the 'Display off monitoring' settings so that it could check at a more granular interval

    Automate XML backup

    Pete Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Pete Kemp

    A way to automatically export certain Project/Task/Scenes as XML to SD to allow for custom backup to cloud/FTP.

    The amount of times I've lost useful, complicated projects because my tasker backups are out of date is painful :(

    Create a Tasker Clipboard Manager

    Rich D · 0 · Posted

    This would be a huge help in editing. It would act like one of the many clipboard apps except it would contain tasker actions. So you could make folders to keep all of your commonly used actions and of course have access to recently cut actions. You could also include the other feature request and have the ability to save and paste just the "IF" parameter of a action.

    Add a "Copy Info" option to the menu->info

    Rich D · 3 · Last reply by André Jeromin

    Usually the first response From João to a request for help is "Tasker Version ?"  especially when dealing with betas. It would be very useful to have a menu option like Menu -> Info > copy tasker info.

    This would set the clipboard to all data João would feel necessary to properly assess help requests. Such as Tasker version, app factory version, android version, device, rooted, ect..

    Hi, could you please add "folder /subfolders'' modification in File Modified Event

    We can use File Modified event in tasker to find if a file is modified in a folder 

    Is it possible that it can check in the folder/subfolders if the file is modified

    Trigger Bixby commands

    James Jermain · 2 · Last reply by TaskerEverything

    On the newer Samsung phones, Bixby has access to many system settings that are not available without root.  It would be great if we could send commands to Bixby.  Maybe using intents or Bixby "Type to Bixby" function.

    Add Keyboard "Is shown" and "Close" Actions

    Robert L Ryan · 8 · Last reply by AHMET BUYUKHANLI

    We currently have an action to show the soft keyboard. However, there is currently no way to detect if the keyboard is already showing. Some way to detect this state has been requested several times on various Tasker forums.

    I request an action to close the keyboard, if currently shown, and an action that returns the current state of the keyboard.

    FTP for Tasker

    Somesh · 0 · Posted

    My suggestion is to add a feature that lets the user perform basic FTP Upload and Download operations that support Tasker tasks and also kid apps created through Tasker App Factory.

    It could have the following Parameters:-

    Mode(Dropdown box): Upload/Download options.

    Host:

    Username:

    Password:

    Source File:

    Destination Directory:

    Timeout:

    ASCI Mode/Binary Mode (Check Box)

    Local Passive/Extended Passive Mode (Checkbox)

    File operations on SMB shares

    Having the possibility to do file operations (e. g. Test File, List Files, Copy, Rename File, Create Folder) on SMB shared folders would make many tasks like syncing some files to a local NAS or a share on the PC much easier.

    Visually indicate where a dragged item will be placed in a list.

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    https://i.imgtc.com/PKYFbEb.gif

    Do you see how when I drag layers around in Photoshop, it clearly shows where the layers will be placed when I release them? It highlights the space between the two destination layers as a visual cue to show me where my dragged layer(s) will land.

    Tasker doesn't have any visual indication of this!  As a result, at least half the time I drag my tasks/scenes/profiles, they end up in the wrong place because there is no visual indication of where I need to drag them to move them where I want!

    Please add a visual indicator along the

    An "Advanced Search / Replace" Action

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    Really need the creation of a new/additional Search/Replace that primarily enabled two things:

    1. Allow named groups in the regex to automatically create variables and values within the Task.

    2. Allow multiple replaces at one time in the Action by inputing a group name along with its replacement value.

    Pairs should likely be created/input using the format of the new Task/Profile/Project variables feature, where you press a " + " button, and a new pair of fields appears.

    For full detail and code examples please see this reddit post.

    In Built Json Key value store with Variable value context trigger

    Sriram SV · 1 · Last reply by Von

    Tasker should have its own "No-SQL" like database to store and retrieve complex data rather than  just variables. 

    This will also allow variable backup and any data can be queried remotely without having to setup a profile for each of the stuff

    improved error handling and reporting

    Lynda Howell · 2 · Last reply by adomm420

    I'd like to see more informative error messages, including %errmsg set on every error, the values for %err defined in each action's documentation, and something more than Err displayed in the RunLog.  I think the message displayed in the editor when a plugin has an error could also be made more useful, as could the warnings shown on startup.

    I'd also like to see more error handling, so the steps of saving, examining, and clearing each error don't have to be recreated for each potentially failing action.

    Make actions requiring root or write secure settings easier to identify

    It would be nice if it was easier to differentiate actions that require root are write secure settings permission. Making each of these actions a different colour would help with this.

    Tasker Quick Settings Tiles only 3 at the moment

    Lemuel Sacop · 0 · Posted

    Hi Joao,

    Is it possible to add more quick settings tiles for Tasker? Currently it only has 3. Your AN Plugin has 41 i think. I was able to use your AN QS Tiles to point to my custom tasks in Tasker but i have to set the command and icon first in a task by running it manually and then another profile to react to that AN command. I notice some delays updating the status of the icons. But the tasker qs tiles are instanteneous. If possible if you can add 20 or more QS tiles for Tasker (or

    Accessing multiple indexes of an array

    Richard Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Frits van Bommel

    Suppose array %alphabet contains the values a,b,c,d,e. Currently if I want to access the first, third, and fifth I could write %alphabet(1) %alphabet(3) %alphabet(5), but this is a bit cumbersome as the number of entries I want increases.

    Some programming languages offer the ability to access multiple array indexes in one function, in Tasker this would look something like this:

    %alphabet(1,3,5) --> evaluates to a,c,e

    This would be especially useful when searching for array matches using %var(#?pattern) - you could use %var(%var(#?pattern)) to instantly get all members of %var() which match pattern.
