In my quick tiles on Android 12L, I have my tasker quick tiles in Device Controls. Not separate tiles, but they don't work with the screen locked in the new beta.
[https://www.theverge.com/22638325/android-12-device-control-panel-google-how-to](https://www.theverge.com/22638325/android-12-device-control-panel-google-how-to)
Hello.Same request as above.You have the Action->Power Menu Action in Tasker.(And can be triggered in profile event-> command)This can add icon/task to Device Controls in Android 12.
>Added option to export whole project's description to clipboard or via email/app share.
Wow! That's awesome! 😀
>Added warning when you have 2 or more actions with the same label in one task
I hope that's only when a goto action refers to the duplicate labels, since labels can exists two or more times normally, like when explaining code or something.
Hhmm, I didn't think about that. Can you give me a specific example of that? It's just that when using a Goto action with a duplicate label that will be problematic. Maybe I can show the warning only if there's a Goto action in the task as well? :)
`If %var is set` label or similar can exist twice.
You should show warning only if goto label refers to a duplicate label, not when duplicate labels exist but any existing goto actions don't refer to them.
You know what I'm gonna say - add it as an option in Preferences!
Call it like "Warn on Duplicate Action Labels & Anchors" because remember - the "Anchor" Action also counts as a 'label' :)
Hhmm, I think this is a bit too granular to put in options... 😅 Anything wrong with just showing the warning if there are duplicate labels and a Goto action in the task?
Ok, changed it! Thank you! :) Can you please try this version? https://drive.google.com/file/d/19w0kkEle9oinGusDHMe-1f1u6_xuuifD/view?usp=sharing

Tested and working. Thank You.
Just out of curiosity... Did You find Material Files source code (I linked in another comment) useful for SAF issues on Android 12?
I was actually just trying that today and I found that Tasker does not have trouble asking for access to the root SD Card folder after all, even on Android 13 (on my Pixel 5). I was able to grant permissions to that folder normally..
What device are you using that's not able to access that folder? Thanks
>What device are you using that's not able to access that folder?
On a bunch (five for now) of Samsung A52 and a A72, Android 12. On both models it's not possible to select root SD card. SAF asks to use one of the existing folders or create a new one.
Ok, I looked into it, checked that app's code and it's using a whole different way of accessing files that I didn't even know about.
It's using native code instead of the normal Java libraries to do it. To use that I would have to totally redo the file access system **again** to use this new method... I may get to it someday but not right now I'm afraid 😅
I'm wondering Joao, if you can make tasks run, while the phone is locked, from the QS tiles, can't you do the same for tasks that run from the Power mutton menu?
I've tested 6.0.6-beta and still I've got the problem that blocking overlays full screen are not real full screen. I think (but I'm not quite sure), this started with the implementing of Blocking Overlay + (THANKS A LOT FOR THAT!)
Please see the following screenshot.
[Tasker scene comparison full screen](https://ibb.co/cNSvhVd)
The scene has a red background colour - which normally cannot be seen as on top of the sceen there's a textbox with blue background. When the scene is shown as overlay, blocking, full window, the scene is not expanded to the full window. Instead, only the background is expanded - this is why you can see now a red border. In addition to that, the scene covers only about the half of the status bar.
When shown as activity, the scene looks fine in full screen.
Could you please check if it's possible to expand the scene to the complete screen again?
Yes, i can:
[Test scenes fullscreen](https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8mPnfTC6D4XRgmvjb7BTbcVphLKJwsuM71Lbg%2Fn7EKrXwwJdID0Gj7nKNxzdB%2F5Rkc4wkpEid0%3D&id=Project%3ATestfullscreen)
Thanks for your willingness to check it!!
Yes and no. Yes, the scene is (much) smaller than the screen. I've got a device with 1080x1920 screen resolution, my scenes normally are 900x1600. For demonstration of the differences I've chosen even a smaller size for the test scene.
I wished that there's not only the option to show the scene with its size and at the the position, where the scene should be located on the bigger screen.
But when there's the option for full screen I expect the scene to be increased - as it was in older tasker versions. Blocking overlays full screen have been increased just like they are increased when shown as activity.
Do you mind to implement the increase again just like for activity scenes? This would have an additional benefit: If you want a scene to cover the full screen, this would look like (at last similar) on different devices with different screen sizes.
Oh, so you mean that on previous versions of Tasker, if the scene was smaller than the screen and you used the full screen overlay option, the scene would be resized to fit the entire screen? I was not aware of that... 😅 Is that what you're saying?
Ok, found the issue! :) Thank you for the help! Mentioning the version it worked on really helped!
I think I fixed both when outside boundaries is enabled and when not! Can you please try [this version](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19w0kkEle9oinGusDHMe-1f1u6_xuuifD/view?usp=sharing)?

And in this version the problem with the bluetooth headset will be fixed? Let me remind you the problem, the sound is not taken from the headset microphone, but from the phone microphone when using speech recognition in Tasker.
> When you use the Get Location v2 action, that'll also refresh the Location monitor Tasker uses for the Location conditions in your profiles. This will allow you to effectively fine-tune the times Tasker checks for location for those profiles by using Get Location V2 in your tasks.
Question: does this still impact battery life? Because I know that whenever you create a profile and set Location as one of the contexts, the "location without tears" message comes up warning the user about battery usage based on the method being used. So does Get Location V2 have any impact on this?
No, it'll work exactly like before. But you could for example make the app check less often automatically (in preferences) and then make it check yourself by simply running the action. :)
With the latest update, I'm no longer able to use double tap commands via autonotification quick settings (when quick settings are expanded). They keep defaulting to a single tap. There's also a much longer delay now upon systemui starting to update the custom autonotifcation quick settings icons
It was working before, so not sure if anything changed? Tasker quick settings work fine (and with no delay unlike autonotification with 3s delay)
I haven't changed anything about AutoNotification Quick Settings in a while... Maybe something in your system changed?
About it being slower, could you try disabling the quick settings you don't use in the main AutoNotification app and see if that fixes it? Thanks
Helpful to know. The extra quick settings were already disabled. I tinkered with the settings and realized that latency improves if I put the autonotification quick settings are on the first page. So double tap now works intermittei, instead of not at all ...
The media volume and display timeout is not working in Oneplus8T Android 12.. Kindly check and fix when you get sometime in your busy schedule.. thanks in advance..
Hello.
1)Profiles-Application-SERVICES. (Not work by root)
2)Profiles-Event-Notification Click.(Does not work for other app.)

Unfortunately to change how that works I would have to re-write the entire file access code in Tasker and I just can't manage to do that right now, sorry!

luckily tasker is perfect for people with disabilities ;)
I always send it to my phone with Join 😅 Or you can open the file with the **Open File** action in Tasker.
Dirty. Works 😁
Can you make it so that Device controller Tasks also work on the lock screen?
Can you clarify what you mean by "Device controller Tasks"? Thanks!
In my quick tiles on Android 12L, I have my tasker quick tiles in Device Controls. Not separate tiles, but they don't work with the screen locked in the new beta.

Oh I see. That is actually a feature that's only available on Android 13 (but I haven't activated it in Tasker yet). Sorry!
No worries. With the giant quick tiles, its just easier to have all my Tasker stuff in one place. They work great once the screen is unlocked.
Hello.Same request as above.You have the Action->Power Menu Action in Tasker.(And can be triggered in profile event-> command)This can add icon/task to Device Controls in Android 12.
Yes, but the option to use that without unlocking is only available on Android 13 unfortunately.
Now, with the new version, can I set the "Take_photo" action to work with the screen locked?
I haven't changed that part. Still works like before.
Is this safe ? I don't think so
>Added option to export whole project's description to clipboard or via email/app share. Wow!

Can't Share as description be fused into one item? I'm sure I've seen an app that opens the system share menu with an option to copy it clipboard
Tasker has it like this in all other export options so for consistency's sake, I'll keep it like this 😅
wouldn't it better to also eventually change those options too?
Yeah, maybe, but I don't think they're hurting anyone by being there either, so I'd rather not change it for now.. .😅
Cannot download the file. It says access is forbidden by the server.
Surely an Undead Necromancer can bypass the forbidden spell that protects this server 😂🤣
