Request to have also a "double tap" option (in addition to tap, long press, and stroke) in scene elements to trigger different tasks.

Hi, The latest Android update introduced Modes. They allow us to predefine Do Not Disturb settings.

Unfortunately, they have limited capabilities at the moment, and it would be great to enhance them with Tasker by adding an action that executes upon activating such a mode.

Tasker could detect whether a mode has been activated and which one (preferably by name). Then, we could use a profile to listen for its activation and, for example, use a Tasker action to turn on vibration.

It would be great to be able to specify that certain edit text elements in scenes are single lines so that on the keyboard there's a next key instead of an enter key, similar to what you have when you set a maximum characters limit. Would greatly improve UX for a lot of scenes I've built

It would be useful to perform a search and replace to a variable then place the result into another variable. Also doable, but more complicated in both implementation and use, is to allow lookahead regexes.

some times we may need to protect some new files automaticlly, and zip with code is a easy and dependable way to do that, hope the developer could consider it.

Use cases:

I create a sound toggle task that turns sound on and off. Before running the task I always check a sound variable to check if the sound is on or off before running the appropriate task. The icon should show a 🔊 when the sound variable is true and should show a mute icon when the variable is false. 

Music: play icon when music is paused, pause icon when music is playing

Etc

Add another built-in variable for the current action number, %action, which could be used in user constructed error messages.

I would like to be able to trigger certain tasks only if I'm near the location of the calendar event during the event.

I would find it helpful if the right hand data condition field on IF actions were larger, maybe on a new line, or expandable? It's fine for a variable or constant, but I've been using some ~160 character regex conditions and they're awkward to edit. Yes, I know about regex101.com and copy&paste but to change one or two characters could be easier.

Thanks for all your excellent work in any case.

Root use only, but apply a firewall for intents. This can implicitly block, allow and log all intents sent and received on Android and apps.

Thank you.

After a while of using Tasker and accumulating many Profiles - most folks end up with a mix of user-named Profiles along with Tasker-named (which are un-named) Profiles.

Those un-named Profiles don't show up in %PENABLED or %PACTIVE and cause a bunch of other issues.

There should be an option to indicate un-named Profiles when viewing the list in the Profiles Tab.

After discussing in a thread on reddit the most popular (and simple) option idea was to put Tasker-named Profiles in italics in the Profiles List.

Doing so could of course be an option in Preferences.

Anytime there's a local variable name present anywhere in an If/The/Else statement - the red/green indicator will never EVER light up correctly.

Including and even when using the step-Play icon to go through the Task step-by-step.

Therefore the red/green indicator should never show up whenever a local variable name is present in the comparison. It just creates clutter and confuses people newer to Tasker.

For those people who have used Tasker for a while - although we've become accustomed to just ignoring it, with a solution so simple, that shouldn't have to be the case.

I guess the ultimate suggestion

Yea, like that.

Like the title says, a way to see all the currently active profiles without browsing every single project 

doesn't really have to be a tab, anything that lists them

I have a task that reads a file and uses regex to to get some data, but the file is located in root directory. 

Adding option to access root files to read will help, right now i have to copy the file to sdcard and read it.

Plz add this functionality.

Simple idea. Most people may not know of this site to goce feedback for tasker or add in their ideas. Be nice if there was a button somewhere in tasker that would bring you to this site. 

It would be helpful to pass app names or packages as variable to do task on them.

Option for state context profiles to stop enter or exit task as soon as the conditions are changed and start executing the other. 

For example an enter task is running and the profile conetext is changed then the enter task is stopped and exit task is run at once, and again on satisfying context exit task is stopped and enter task is run.

Right now to do this the task has to be named and a stop action has to be added at the beginning of other. But doing this would reduce the clutter from naming the tasks.

I know that the Send Intent action is for advanced users but because it does not facilitate their creation with a button to show a list of intent patterns used in apps as Android.intent.action. (VIEW | MAIN | GET_CONTENTAND) he data such as date, extras, package, class and improve productivity when creating it is easy to end up forgetting something like that. I know that the plugins that make it easy to work this, to be sincere I think I'm very boring to make the user ending having to install several plugins to use with one or two actions if the

It be would awesome if the Vars/Variables tab is accessible in the Task Edit menu (may it be through swiping from the right/left or in any available way). Not only that it would help a lot of users which are fond of using multiple variables inside a task such as myself but it can also help in saving time in creating a complex task by checking the current value of the variables in the task without exiting the menu.
