    Element boundaries in Scenes

    Anthony Kyle · 0 · Posted

    Is it possible to make the interactive (tap/press) boundaries of elements to more closely reflect their actual shape rather than everything essentially being a square?

    Add label of next alarm within test next alarm action

    Hauke M. · 0 · Posted

    The label/name of the upcoming alarm (native Android alarm?) is missing, which would be a powerful option to filter and react on, within tasker.

    Profile parameters

    Colin Hemming · 0 · Posted

    When setting entry/exit tasks for a profile, it would be fantastic to be able to set the values of par1/2 sent to the task being called. I often have many profiles that call the same task, but with the need to identify where the call came from. I currently have to create 1-liner tasks to call a common function with those parameters. While %caller can be used, it has to be laboriously parsed and makes manual tests even more fiddly.

    Create a setting that defaults "Continue Task After Error" box to always be checked

    Jason Cooper · 0 · Posted

    I cant think of any task where I dont want it to continue if an action errors. I think it would help to create a setting that defaults "Continue Task After Error" box to always be checked for all actions.

    Have a loop count for Goto action

    Jason Cooper · 0 · Posted

    It would be helpful if the Goto action had a # of loops you could get. Default to 0=no limit, but lets say I want to go to the top of a task is a variable isn't set, but I only want it to do this loop 3 times. Currently I have to set up a variable set to 0, then add 1 every time and have the goto have an If Variable <4. It would be a lot easier if the goto could be set to have a limit.

    [ Javascript ] - Console Log

    GlitchYou · 0 · Posted

    It is very difficult to use java script with the alert to check if it is working there would be a way to create a file to store the Javascript console.log or leave it in run log.

    option for a scene to have accelerometer-moving background

    André Kjellstrup · 0 · Posted

    Recently, Taskoer got lots of neat visual goodies.

    The one I miss is for a box to contain graphics (larger than box). Or smaller, tiled , graphics... 

    Then move it all based on acceleration (like some wallpapers do)

    Having such background option, would dramatically increase the eye-candy level of Tasker.

    [ Export Ignore ] - Ignore Profiles, Tasks or Scenes

    GlitchYou · 0 · Posted

    Could add a way to skip tasks of a project when exporting maybe with some configuration in the properties

    Because it is usually easier to create profiles, tasks and scenes to test the specific project

    Well, sometimes it takes a long time to go from one project

    Expanded text field for variable value

    urkindagood · 1 · Last reply by Abhishek M

    Continuation from this reddit comment

    Can we have an option to expand text field for variable value in event context?

    https://i.ibb.co/fFPzDy0/1648669094.png

    It's hard to view the full value if it the text used is long enough

    Similar thig happen with variable search replace as well.

    [ Sockets ] - Add Profiles and Actions to use sockets in Tasker

    GlitchYou · 0 · Posted

    Could add sockets to give an extra extension to receive events and kind of allow the user to create new events

    I think it could have a profile with the event type (optional)

    And it returns maybe even in %evtprm

    I would also need an action to start/stop the execution socket with the address (optional with localhost by default) the port and other fields I may have forgotten

    With all the data that the user sent from any device by some language or by some action like send sockets to send with the event type and the information to be

    An action to perform set operations on arrays will be helpful to find

    1. Combine arrays without duplicates. (Union)

    2. Common elements in arrays. (Intersection)

    Stop multiple tasks with a timer or a kill function and limit number of parallel tasks

    A. · 1 · Last reply by Sunny D

    Hi João, 

    I kindly ask you to implement a feature to stop looping tasks or tasks running indefinitely long to stop after a specific period. (Just the other day I had a task running for more than two thousand seconds, although it usually just takes seconds.

    In addition, I would like to ask you to limit the number of parallel tasks to a given number. I need more than one or two tasks but only a few of the same tasks running at the same time. For the time being, I can only say to stop the current or the new

    music track changed - trigger also when music is started in Tasker

    schrott97 · 0 · Posted

    the profile music track changed works when the change is due to an external media player. When you play music with Tasker using  the "Music Play" task, the profile does not trigger (and therefore the song metadata are not available).

    Scene use of a temporary variable as Element Default value

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by Håkan Sjörling

    I have a scene containing a Number Picker element but I have found that I cannot set the default value using a temporary variable, as the keyboard only lets me enter digits. It would be good if a normal keyboard be displayed when selecting the default value field. This might apply to other element types as well. Thanks for listening.

    Regarding the "Notify" action...

    Alan Rosen · 6 · Last reply by Alan Rosen

    Hi, thanks for all you do. I LOVE Tasker! Regarding the "Notify" action, would it be possible to change the parameters of the action so that a variable itself can be shown in the notification panel, rather than just an icon which then has to be dragged down to see the variables's text? In my case, I'm trying to create a simple app to show the current local temperature (itself) in the notification panel. Thanks again, Alan R
