    "Limit passthrough to" array syntax

    Scott Raffensparger · 0 · Posted

    I have not been able to get the right syntax to passthrough arrays using "Limit passthrough to". When "Limit passthrough to" is blank the arrays passthrough works as expected.

    Have the option "Limit passthrough" in the "Variable Set" and "Array Set" actions.

    Display Time Profile Became Active

    Lucas Abido Figueiro · 0 · Posted

    Hi João,

    Sometimes the log is too short for me. I have a ton of profiles and some loops, etc. 

    Would be great to have an easy way to see the last time a profile was activated and also since when the ones currently active have been active.

    I believe Tasker already record that as we have cool down for profiles.

    In the screenshot you can check my suggestion. It is to place a time indicator in the profile list itself.

    As I requested in the google groups, adding the request to launch kid app via URL shortcuts (KidAppName://) From G Group: "Hello, I have external app that I can program to launch android app. For example, it launches "Tidal" app by sending "tidal://". Any idea how can I make this possible for App Factory Child App?"

    No error messages with profile disabled

    Nirnic · 0 · Posted

    Hi! Could it be possible to only get error messages when the profile which generated it is enabled? Use case: I'm using an app plugin to create a profile, I uninstalled that app and disable that profile, and get error messages because Tasker doesn't find the plugin. The only way to make those messages disappear is deleting the respective profile, but I would like to keep it to enable it if I reinstall the app needed in future, so I don't have to create it again from scratch. It would be nice.

    Thank you!

    Functionality included in Tasker to enable mirroring a phone's screen to another phone and/or PC

    Tosin Bashiru · 0 · Posted

    Hello! Tasker is so amazing it gives me so much power and control over my Android phone.

    Then a thought crossed my mind: "Could Tasker have a feature that enables the mirroring a phone's screen to another phone and/or a PC".

    I would be happy if this idea would be considered and super excited if eventually rolls out in future versions...

    Icons in Tasks action list to have visual effect in coding

    RmatriX1218 · 0 · Posted

    Can we add small tweak to current UI to have visual effect that makes understanding coding bit easier?

    At present, we have only list of statements with serial number in Task action list.

    On the other hand, we have already used some icons for each Action category, when we are adding new action.

    Can we have same icon along with various listed actions within Tasks? I guess this can give UI new flavor without much effort and will be useful while looking at codes.

    Maximum tasks queue

    Mahammad Rafi · 0 · Posted

    Hi joaomgcd 

    As title says that when maximum number of tasks reached tasker flashes a message as "Maximum tasks queued. Ignoring new tasks." Tasker will also notify tasks names, by clicking notification  user can get tasks list and stop those tasks which were low priority. This will be most useful to all users. 

    Thanks in advance from record4

    Extra field in the 'Variable Set' action for Global Variables to set a Label

    Erik Gerardo · 0 · Posted

    Hi, would be great have an extra field in the Set Variable Action only for Global Variables to set a label to identify them.

    Ex:

    With System variables we have right now:

    • Window Label > %WIN
    • Wifi Info > %WIFII
    • etc

    With Global Variables we would have:

    • Todoist API Key > %ToDoKey
    • Room Lights > %RoomLights
    • etc

    Off course, this could be optional. Next time we'll see the Select Variable dialog with all our variables beautifully showed.

    Add SIM Card select in Event -> Variable Set -> %CELLID

    Sławek S. · 0 · Posted

    Request to add this option.

    Without it, the %CELLID variable is set randomly from one card or the other. This makes it impossible to do a location task. In addition, being able to download data from a selected card, you can make a much more precise location based on two networks.

    Access to S-Pen gyroscope and accelerometer sensors.

    Fiskers4428894 · 0 · Posted

    I want to be able to access the gyroscope and accelerometer from the S-Pen. The app Smouse is a good example of this capability. And I believe this could be achieved or you can at least see the possibilities here https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy-spen-remote/overview.html

    Variable substract or add with arrays

    Thenzkt · 0 · Posted

    There are many ways to refer to arrays and get values from them, for example: 

    %arr (#), %arr(#>), %arr(#<), %arr (1:2) etc... but in the action "add or substract" it is not possible to enter " arr(1:2) " or similar.

    I think it would be very useful to be able to use this to add or subtract multiple values from an array. it is very tedious to have to create actions to subtract each of the values of an array.

    I hope this idea is taken into account, bye!

    Prevent Maths from Variable Set action to trimm ceros if Max Rounding Digits is bigger than the result

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hello Joao,   I would like to request something related to maths if possible for the next release(s).   Currently, when doing Maths using the 'Variable Set' action, regardless of what is set to the desired decimal places, Tasker deletes all the 'ceros' (#: 0) behind the number automatically, if any. I mean...   If a given math operation gives '0.03350000' as a result, configuring Max Rounding Digits to 8, Tasker takes all the remaining ceros out, and shows the result as '0.0335', instead of the value I would like to be shown: '0.03350000'.   Example of the above, using

    Geohash as a Get Location return parameter

    Peter Howells · 1 · Last reply by Peter Howells

    A suggestion for an extra Get Location return parameter (or perhaps a Variable Convert function) is the geohash.

    As a usage example, I scrape weather forecasts from the UK Met Office website, which uses a geohash to specify a location (anywhere in the world as far as I can see). To do this I currently have to Get Location, feed the coordinates to the Geohash website, extract the geohash from the result and then feed that into the Met Office website before extracting the forecast data.

    It'd be nice to simplify the process.

    Add a way to escape vars for Tasker pattern matching

    Destroy666 · 1 · Last reply by Destroy666

    Escaping is pretty much a requirement for languages/syntaxes to work well. There's currently no way to escape special characters for Tasker pattern matching.

    I also know you can use regexes as a workaround but it's suboptimal if the matching should be indeed simple.

    Better support for media button long press

    Nicolás Sanchez · 0 · Posted

    Hey! I was trying to make a profile that reads my notifications when I ask for the assistant, which I think would be the equivalent of long pressing the media button. However, I'm not able to make it work with the current options. I'm aware of the multimedia button options, and the Assistant Request, but none work as intended. The last one works, but also opens a screen showing how to enable google assistant.

    I was able to make it work with MacroDroid, which btw shows in the logcats as media button long press activity, when requesting the assistant. It also
