I want to launch an app (http://kaljurand.github.io/K6nele/) that supports list-valued EXTRAs via Tasker, but Tasker's "System / Send Intent" does not seem to support such EXTRAs. This is what is supported according to http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/intents.html

If the value can be parsed as an integer, long (integer ending in L), floating point number, double (float ending in D) or boolean (true/false) it will be treated as one. The value can also be forced to a simple type (long etc) or Uri via casting. The name of a Java object created via the Java Function action which is of type Parcelable can also be used (e.g. a Bundle) If

I know long ago there was a brief time where this was possible, but Pent changed the 'rules' because of a supposed 'security' issue.

Is it possible to now solve this security issue? To make a more secure/safe connection between the plugin and Tasker to let set Global variables.

It could even be an option that plugin devs and/or the user have to click something to agree to.

Case in point, let's say you want to set 6 Globals at once. If they were local variables - AutoTools "Text" could handle it in one Action if it could set Globals. 

I'd like an option to enable "Confirm Quit" i.e. "Press back again to close the app" since I often close the app unintentionally while browsing back and fourth between profiles/tasks with the on-screen navigation.

The kid app's preference 'Maximum Tasks Queued' is just 10 and cannot be set by user.  So, the kid app do not work properly sometimes.

I really want to set it when exporting apps.

As we all know, Tasker have an App context to detect the foreground activity and run tasks, but there is no way to detect the activity. I can't make Tasker decide whether to perform a task according to the current activity.when a event happened(of course Shell code can detect the activity, but shell is too slow)

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. 

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.

Right now profiles can be disabled, adding option to disable an action in a task by providing action number or label. 

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

There is currently no easy way to post new requests or issues here from the tasker UI.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

The Page Load event of the webview element allow us to get the url. would be possible get the html content in a variable? This option can allow users to get html content after ajax loading in some pages.

When creating new profile, there is no option to get location via that "Get Location V2", only with near cell or gps. Please add it.

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

For example, I have an array_list with (red, green, blue), so I want that when the list display, the item red will be in red color and so on.

So the idea is that we can create another array for example array_color based on array_list with (#ffff0000, #ff00ff00, #ff0000ff) and put the variable in the text color field. Then the text color and array item is link together by the array index, therefore the list will display array_list(1) with the text color array_color(1).

The same suggestion for image path in Item Layout. So we can put array_icon in the image
