    UI bug - sliders - length change while editing

    Xavier Novella Sinde · 0 · Posted

    Please note that the sliders make small jumps when going from units to tens to hundreds, which makes modifying them by hand a bit difficult. Also, the total lenght of the slider is modified while sliding.

     

    Instead of porcentually assigning pixels to the number on the left and then filling the gap with the slider to the right, the text box should be big enough to fit number 999 and then the slider should fill rest of the gap with a fixed length.

     

    Now, when you go from 9 to 10 and from 99 to 100, the slider

    When Tasker has Notification Access & Do Not Disturb Access (to control ringer) it breaks the Greyscale feature of Wind Down in Android 10

    Josh McKevitz · 3 · Last reply by Josh McKevitz

    I've been using a Pixel 2 since they were released and I used to have a profile which would see I am near my work's wifi and then set my ringer to 0 as not to disturb coworkers. This worked perfectly and had no ill effects for a few years.

    I'm not sure exactly when, probably around February/March, the Greyscale feature of Wind Down would, seemingly at random times, disable itself after it had been activated (both manually & by time of day).

    I was able to narrow the behavior down to Tasker and, specifically, Notification/DnD access permissions.

    Application profiles broken since v5.8

    HTC Butterfly S Android 5.0.2 XPosed framework v80 Tasker 5.8 - 5.8.5

    Hi João,

    My application-context profiles, which used to work flawlessly for years, have been broken since the rollout of Tasker v5.8. They became unreliable. They either don't trigger at all (in one or both directions), or activate only for a brief moment (i.e. the exit task immediately follows the entry task even though the assigned app was never moved from the foreground).

    A couple of days ago I returned to 5.7.2 (from 5.8.5), so they are working fine again. Can you please find out what went wrong in

    Frank Schmidt · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey,

    I tried to new beta to get clipboard monitoring back working again. I manged to get an event on clipboard actions but the %CLIP variable is always empty. Also the event is fired on if no clipboard action has taken place. A wanted to check if %CLIP has really changed before firing my task. But as the variable is empty it's not working as intended.

    Android 10 Tasker Notification Information

    OnkelM · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, the implemented idea a couple days ago which allowed the Tasker Notification Information to be collapsed and show the current profiles in the Notification Title worked for Android 9 very good.

    I upgraded to Android 10 and now Notifications are showed duplicated and sometimes it switches back to only one as it should be but immediately duplicates again. And for the main issue, it seems the Profiles are not written to the Notification Title again like prior the idea implementation.

    Here another screenshot with another app how that is displayed in Android 10

    Change camera's storage location to avoid Google Photos to auto-upload the photos.

    Daniel · 0 · Posted

    Currently Tasker can only store images into DCIM/Tasker which has the problem that Google's Photos app will index them and upload them to Google Photos without the ability to exclude that directory. We should be able to select any target directory.

    User Icons Can't Be Selected in Notifications

    As per "https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/icons.html#user" I installed icons.  I can select these for tasks, but there is no way to select the icons in Action Edit->Notify. Either this is an oversight in the app or in the documentation.

    Notification on new messages is missing when app is back from deny net access mode

    Hi, 

    I'm trying to restrict network access (Wi-Fi & Data) to Gmail and WhatsApp, i.e. no access for certain period of time. The problem is that whenever there were new messages in "restricted" time, then they don't pop-up automatically when "unrestricted" time kicks in. However if they are received in "unrestricted" time, then they do pop-up. Now I have to open apps and see, if there are any new messages. What I would like to achieve - is to disable network access to these apps, and if there were new messages in "restricted" time, then to get pop-up in for

    Hello,

    when I try to sign-in / authorize to GoogleDrive I only get a spinner on a white window and then nothing happens. I am on 5.9 now but I am quite sure the problem has been persistent for quite some time and several updates. As a result backup to GD never worked for me. Does anybody have a clue how I could solve this?

    I get the following error message: Unknown Google Error

    detection of wireless charging

    Scharkieh · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is it possible that the detection of (wireless?) charging is slow/unreliable when motion detection setting in preferences is turned on?

    Background: I have a home profile that becomes active when either wifi connection OR location (geofence) indicate that I am at home. Since I do not want the home profile to be active when my car profile is active I also added the condition “not car-profile active”. The car profile becomes active as soon as wireless charging is detected and stays active as long as the phone is in contact with the wireless charger. – Now, when I leave home,

    Profile deactivates shortly after phone locks

    Hi,

     

    I have a few different profiles which mostly modify the volume of phone ringer, etc which are triggered by Wifi Near states. For instance, while at home at night or at work, these profiles reduce the volume of the ringer. I also have a "default" profile which has a condition that it activates only if none of the other profiles are active and this default returns volumes to normal and does a few other things. Since using Tasker on my Huawei P30 Pro, I've been noticing that when I'm at home or at work, which means the @home
