    Use headers in HTTP POST (and any other related HTTP Methods)

    John Doe · 0 · Posted

    The ability to use headers (both, being able to send custom headers, and also see received headers) in HTTP POST (and other HTTP methods) would be extremely useful for me and other users.

    Base Project Vars/Scenes/Tasks Only

    Somesh · 0 · Posted

    An option in the settings to Enable/Disable Project-Only Elements.

    The idea is that when this option is turned on, while in the menu for selecting the required Variable/Scene/Task, only the ones in the current project will be shown rather than showing all the Variable/Scenes/Tasks available in the whole.

    This would come very handy for people with large number of projects so that they don't have to search within a large number of other Vars/Scenes/Tasks to select the one they desire.

    Project Export Without Including Profiles,Tasks,Scenes from Other Projects

    agnostic-apollo · 0 · Posted

    Can you add support for project export without including tasks/scenes/profiles from other projects.

    The problem is that say you have 3 projects. project 1 and 2 use common helper profiles,tasks and scenes which are all defined in project 3. Now if you export project 1 and 2 and share it with someone. They will only be able to import project 1 and importing project 2 will fail because when they imported project 1 all the helper tasks from project 3 were also imported, now they cant import project 2 because tasker already contains tasks with the same name.

    Moreover when

    Add an internal Stopwatch as a Task

    Henry · 0 · Posted

    A stopwatch as a Task.

    For example in the “event” of screen turned on , We could be able to add a stopwatch task to start time counting up and outputs a variable so that we could know how much time has elapsed

    I know we could do that by doing maths on TIMES var, but there are times that the stopwatch itself is needed like pausing it and resuming it and still would be able to have a variable to output the seconds or time past

    Dynamic path in modified file event

    Lapo Falcone · 1 · Last reply by Lapo Falcone

    I'd like to be able to use a variable to identify the path to the folder I want to guard. At the moment this seems not to be possible, since if I use a variable with the name of the folder then the profile doesn't react to any event. It would be very useful!

    Webserver to host any local file

    Sriram SV · 0 · Posted

    If tasker can host a small webserver which can host any local html files, we can expose lot of features such as toggles, scenes etc to the outside network and can create lot of cool use cases.

    Library to support designing profiles in Python for programmers

    csibesz07 . · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    Ideas:

    • an easy to use library that supports designing custom automation logic in some programming language that will run in (indirectly) or on top (directly) of Tasker
    • Indirectly (main idea): using the Tasker's backup system, a support library and custom logic written in Python, should be able to output an XML that contains tasks and profiles
    • Directly: same as methods under Code action but more robust, (probably using indirect technique to inject script into action)

    I imagine that my whole tasker environment could be simplified to a Python project thats easier to understand, debug, maintain, comment, share and most

    It would be very useful to be able to use Quick Settings Actions when the device is locked. As for security concerns there could be a toggle in preferences to dis-/allow this behaviour.

    Update "Scenes" to work with Recents

    Brenden MacDonald · 0 · Posted

    João said the following the Tasker Google forum:

    • Unfortunately when the previous developers created scenes he made it so that they couldn't show up in recents for some reason I don't know yet. I would have to figure out why that is and potentially restructure the whole scene system so that it works properly.

    I have one idea of implementing this:

    1) Store last scene shown.

    2) Show that scene via the kid app's Persistent Notification.

    3) If possible, do return to the app or that last scene via the App Recents list. This is the most stock the experience

    New mag glass Search Tasker option - search by Tasker ID number

    Rich D · 1 · Last reply by Michael Venetiaan

     

    New search option--

      You can currently tap the triangle next to the search text box to reveal the Contains / Matches / Regex .  I propose a new category of "Tasker ID number"  This would allow to search for any id number for profiles and tasks without having to use profile or task names which can give to many results sometimes.  So searching for a task by task Id number will now show you any profile or scene that is linked to the task (very useful ) and allow you to tap the task Id number of a

    Source control for tasker

    Battleman Meta · 1 · Last reply by Perfectasker

    I just had an incredible idea that might be of interest to Tasker users, and would be of exceptional help to myself: Source control like you see in git.

    Commit and Push: You could make changes to your Tasker project, commit and push those changes to a repo (say on github, or VSTS), and be able to revert those changes by reverting the commit. You'd be able to see what changed between commits.

    Branches: In addition, being able to make "branches" to allow for further source control, (for testing, specific sets of features, etc). The ability to merge branches and

    FAB button (+) problem solved?

    Matt Burns · 2 · Last reply by Pion_G

     

    It seems to me there's only one place where the + button function should be constantly visible - in the Task editor as another standard button, as shown...

     

     

      

      There's a logical / intuitive place for this function elsewhere - as a menu option on each category tab title - PROFILES, TASKS, SCENES - it's already on the Project tab.   Here's how I see it...

     

     

    If you agree this format has merit, please vote by clicking the support button beside the post title.

    Option to auto collapse code blocks

    An option in the loop (If, For) blocks to automatically display in collapsed view when editing the task. Possibly a set of dummy blocks under Misc whose only purpose is to collapse chunks of code.

    Import/Export individual xml tasks and profiles

    Malakan · 0 · Posted

    The ability to import and export individual tasks and profiles using tasker actions as opposed to AutoInput or manually.

    While this is do-able using AutoInput, a dedicated action would ensure reliability and remove ~20 actions from a task that I currently use to import a profile into a specific project

    A tasker action could import a specified xml into a specified project. A second action could export a specified task or profile (or project?) and save to a specified location

    Would be great if a torch status profile could be added to allow actions to be triggered based on whether the torch status is on or off.

    Set Input Dialogs to be persistent until given an input or until timeout expires.

    All Al · 0 · Posted

    Input Dialogs has replaced some of my custom Scenes. However, I find it annoying that tapping accidentally outside of the dialog cancels it and defaults to a negative value. In my opinion, it would be better to make it persistent and set a timeout instead like Popup Task Buttons. Thank you.
