Command Reference
Every command, option and pulldown in the MapTasker user interface: 328 entries (266 of them commands) across 14 windows.
Generated from the MapTasker 13.1.0 source on 2026-09-03 by build_command_wiki.py. Do not edit this page by hand -- rerun that program instead.
-
Searching: press
Ctrl/⌘+Fand type any part of a command's name. Every command appears twice -- once in the alphabetical index, once in full under its window -- so a search always lands on something. -
Reading a path: commands are written as the clicks that get you there.
Edit Profile > Save To Android > Import Into Taskermeans click Edit Profile, then Save To Android in the dialog that opens, then Import Into Tasker. - Kinds: Command is a button, Menu item sits in a pulldown menu, Option is a checkbox or switch, Pulldown is a list to choose from, and Tab switches panels.
- Descriptions are the text MapTasker shows when you hover over the command. Where a command has no hover text, the description comes from MapTasker's own Help, or from the note written beside it in the source -- which is said, where that is so.

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Save To Current File
Kind: Command
Saves the entire backup -- every Project, Profile and Task in it, not just this Project -- including every edit made anywhere in this session. It is written to a new, timestamped copy of the file currently loaded: backup.xml becomes backup_20260728_143005.xml. The file you loaded is never written to, so it is left exactly as it was. The app then switches to the new copy, which becomes the current file for any further editing and saving; saving again replaces the timestamp rather than adding a second one. This writes to this computer only -- nothing is sent to your Android device.
Source: guiwins.py line 2752
Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Save To Android
Kind: Command
This will write the Project, and everything in it -- every Profile and Task -- as a standalone file onto your Android device, under /Tasker/projects -- it does not import it into Tasker's live configuration.
The 'Http Server Example' Tasker Project must be installed and active on the Android device, with the server running.
The Android device must be on the same network, and the IP Address and Port must match its Tasker server settings.
Watch the Android device while this runs: Tasker asks you to authorize the connection several times for one save, and a prompt left untapped fails it.
Opens Save Project To Android, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.
Source: guiwins.py line 2773
Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Save To Android > Verify
Kind: Option
Reads the XML back before it is sent, and refuses the save if anything changed on the way through.
What this catches is the class of failure nothing else in the save path can: a value that this program's own writer and reader disagree about -- a carriage return inside a name, say, which is written out as typed and read back as a newline. The upload answers 200 and the file on the device matches the file that was sent, because both are already wrong.
Every object going up is compared against the one in the loaded configuration, including the Profiles, Scenes and Tasks bundled in that you did not edit. Nothing is sent if any of them differs; you get a report saying which and where.
It costs a fraction of a second and contacts nothing -- the whole check runs here, before the device is touched.

Kind: Command
This copies the Project -- and every Profile and Task in it -- to the device and opens Android's 'Open with...' chooser for it. Pick Tasker, and its own import screen comes up; you then tap Import to finish, and nothing is imported until you do.
The Project is copied to /Tasker/projects under its own name first and offered from there, so it stays behind under a name you can find -- import it by hand from Tasker if the import screen does not come up. You will be asked before it replaces a file already at that path.
The 'Http Server Example' Tasker Project must be installed and running, and Tasker must be 6.2 or higher.

If Tasker does not report the Task after two attempts, that copy is handed to Android's 'Open with...' chooser instead, so you can import it by picking Tasker.

This will write the Profile as a standalone file onto your Android device, under /Tasker/profiles -- it does not import it into Tasker's live configuration.
The 'Http Server Example' Tasker Project must be installed and active on the Android device, with the server running (see the README's Direct XML Retrieval notes).
The Android device must be on the same network, and the IP Address and Port must match its Tasker server settings.
Watch the Android device while this runs: Tasker asks you to authorize the connection several times for one save, and a prompt left untapped fails it.

Source: guiwins.py line 2503
Path: Main Window > Edit Profile > Save To Android > Verify
Kind: Option
Reads the XML back before it is sent, and refuses the save if anything changed on the way through.
What this catches is the class of failure nothing else in the save path can: a value that this program's own writer and reader disagree about -- a carriage return inside a name, say, which is written out as typed and read back as a newline. The upload answers 200 and the file on the device matches the file that was sent, because both are already wrong.
Every object going up is compared against the one in the loaded configuration, including the Profiles, Scenes and Tasks bundled in that you did not edit. Nothing is sent if any of them differs; you get a report saying which and where.
It costs a fraction of a second and contacts nothing -- the whole check runs here, before the device is touched.

This copies the Profile to the device and opens Android's 'Open with...' chooser for it. Pick Tasker, and its own import screen comes up; you then tap Import to finish -- nothing is imported until you do.
The Profile is copied to /Tasker/profiles under its own name first and offered from there, so it stays behind under a name you can find -- import it by hand from Tasker if the import screen does not come up. You will be asked before it replaces a file already at that path.

Path: Main Window > Edit Scene > Preview
Kind: Command
Draws this Scene as a picture in the main window -- including the components you have added or changed here but not yet saved.
A Version 2 layout has no size of its own, so the preview lays it out in a screen you pick, and re-flows it when you change that.
This dialog closes while the preview is up, with everything in it kept; the preview's 'Back to Editor' button brings it back.
It is a representation, not Tasker's own renderer: %variables are named rather than resolved, Material colours come from the baseline palette rather than the device's theme, and images, video and web content are shown as placeholders.
Source: guiwins.py line 7815
Path: Main Window > Edit Scene > Cancel
Kind: Command
Closes without saving, and puts this Scene back exactly as it was when this dialog opened -- including anything moved or resized in the Preview.
A Rename is the one thing this cannot take back: it is applied to the loaded backup as it is confirmed, and closes this dialog with it.
Source: guiwins.py line 8205
Path: Main Window > Edit Scene > Ok
Kind: Command
Keeps what this dialog holds and closes it. Nothing is written to a file: the change is kept in the loaded configuration, for a save to write out later.
Source: guiwins.py line 8234
Path: Main Window > Edit Scene > Save To Current File
Kind: Command
Saves the entire backup -- every Project, Profile, Task and Scene in it, not just this Scene -- including every edit made anywhere in this session. It is written to a new, timestamped copy of the file currently loaded: backup.xml becomes backup_20260728_143005.xml. The file you loaded is never written to, so it is left exactly as it was. The app then switches to the new copy, which becomes the current file for any further editing and saving; saving again replaces the timestamp rather than adding a second one. This writes to this computer only -- nothing is sent to your Android device.
Source: guiwins.py line 8238
Path: Main Window > Edit Scene > Save To Android
Kind: Command
This will write the Scene as a standalone file onto your Android device, under /Tasker/scenes -- it does not import it into Tasker's live configuration.
The 'Http Server Example' Tasker Project must be installed and active on the Android device, with the server running.
The Android device must be on the same network, and the IP Address and Port must match its Tasker server settings.
Watch the Android device while this runs: Tasker asks you to authorize the connection several times for one save, and a prompt left untapped fails it.
Opens Save Scene To Android, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.
Source: guiwins.py line 8259
Path: Main Window > Edit Scene > Save To Android > Verify
Kind: Option
Reads the XML back before it is sent, and refuses the save if anything changed on the way through.
What this catches is the class of failure nothing else in the save path can: a value that this program's own writer and reader disagree about -- a carriage return inside a name, say, which is written out as typed and read back as a newline. The upload answers 200 and the file on the device matches the file that was sent, because both are already wrong.
Every object going up is compared against the one in the loaded configuration, including the Profiles, Scenes and Tasks bundled in that you did not edit. Nothing is sent if any of them differs; you get a report saying which and where.
It costs a fraction of a second and contacts nothing -- the whole check runs here, before the device is touched.

Path: Main Window > Edit Scene > Save To Android > Import Into Tasker
Kind: Command
This sends the Scene -- and every Task its elements fire -- to the Android device under its own name, into /Tasker/scenes, and opens Android's 'Open with...' chooser for it.
If Tasker is in that chooser, pick it. A Scene is the one kind Tasker has been seen to refuse when it is handed one, so if it is not there -- or nothing happens -- finish it with Tasker's 'Scenes > Import One Scene' and pick the Scene by name. The file is on the device either way, and the message tells you its name.
You will be asked before it replaces a file already at that path.
The 'Http Server Example' Tasker Project must be installed and running, and Tasker must be 6.2 or higher.
The device will ask you to authorize MapTasker the first time.

The Properties editor, shared by every Add/Edit dialog -- see the section comment.
Path: Object Properties > Same as Value
Kind: Option
Under 'Exported Value' if you disable the 'Same as Value' option, you can customize what value gets exported when you share the variable with other users. You can keep the 'Exported Value' field blank if you want the export to not have a value at all, or you can set the value you wish to always use for exports. If you enable the 'Same as Value' option, the current variable value will be used when exporting.
Source: guiwins.py line 3088
Path: Object Properties > Cancel
Kind: Command
Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.
Source: guiwins.py line 3199
Path: Object Properties > Ok
Kind: Command
Keeps what this dialog holds and closes it. Nothing is written to a file: the change is kept in the loaded configuration, for a save to write out later.
Source: guiwins.py line 3203
Confirms overwriting something that is already there, before anything is written.
Path: Overwrite Confirmation > Cancel
Kind: Command
Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.

One Event sub-tab: when it fires, the Task it fires, and what that Task can read.
Path: Render Scene > Pick a Task
Kind: Pulldown
Pick a Task which will be called by this action.
Source: guiwins.py line 557
Path: Render Scene > Pick
Kind: Command
Choose from the Applications named in the loaded configuration.
Opens App Picker, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.
Source: guiwins.py line 1164
Path: Render Scene > Pick > Use
Kind: Command
Uses what is entered or selected above, and closes the picker.
Source: guiwins.py line 740
Path: Render Scene > Pick > Cancel
Kind: Command
Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.
Source: guiwins.py line 848
Path: Render Scene > Pick > Use Selected
Kind: Command
Uses what is selected in the list above, and closes the picker.
Source: guiwins.py line 849
Path: Render Scene > Pick > Icon not listed?
Kind: Command
Fetch every installed application's own icon from your Android device. What is listed now is only the icons this configuration already uses. Tasker's built-in icons and the contents of an icon pack cannot be fetched, and are typed by name.
Opens Fetch Applications From Android Device, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.
Source: guiwins.py line 865
Path: Render Scene > Pick > Icon not listed? > Cancel
Kind: Command
Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.
Source: guiwins.py line 705
Path: Render Scene > Delete
Kind: Command
Remove the object being edited from the loaded XML.
Source: guiwins.py line 1531
Path: Render Scene > Close
Kind: Command
Stop firing anything on this event.
Source: guiwins.py line 7424
Path: Render Scene > Stop Event
Kind: Option
Any key handled by the scene is not passed on to the system -- how a Scene keeps the back key from closing it. Written the way Tasker writes it: a inside the Scene's , created when this is ticked and taken away again when it is unticked and nothing else is left in it.
Source: guiwins.py line 7530
Path: Render Scene > Apply to Task
Kind: Command
Puts these action edits into the loaded configuration now, without closing -- the same as 'Ok' in the Edit Task dialog. Ok does it for you here too, so this is only for keeping them mid-edit. Nothing is written to a file and nothing is sent to Android. This Task is not part of the Scene, so neither this window's Cancel nor the Scene dialog's takes these edits back once they have landed. Undo does.
Source: guiwins.py line 7626
Path: Render Scene > Create Task
Kind: Command
Adds this Task to the loaded configuration and points this event at it, the same as 'Ok' in the Add Task dialog -- nothing is written to a file and nothing is sent to Android. Ok does it for you too, so this is only for creating it without closing. Until then the Task exists only in this window and Cancel discards it. Afterwards it is a Task like any other -- Cancel takes the binding back but not the Task, and Undo takes both.

Toolbar, then the scroll area the canvas is drawn into.
Path: Scene Preview Window > Bounds
Kind: Option
Outline every component and name it, the way the designer's tree names it.
Source: guiwins.py line 9982
Path: Scene Preview Window > Actions
Kind: Option
Show what each component does when tapped, and what it writes to.
Source: guiwins.py line 9995
Path: Scene Preview Window > Landscape
Kind: Option
Turn the screen on its side and let the layout re-flow into it.
Source: guiwins.py line 10036
Path: Scene Preview Window > Text density
Kind: Pulldown
A Scene's element positions are stored in device pixels, but its text sizes are stored in Android's sp units. The number that converts between the two is a property of the phone the Scene is shown on, and is not in the backup file.
So it is set here. Raise it if the text looks too small for its elements, lower it if the text overflows them.
Source: guiwins.py line 10059
Path: Scene Preview Window > Snap
Kind: Pulldown
Round dragged positions and sizes to this many pixels.
Source: guiwins.py line 10092
Path: Scene Preview Window > Screen
Kind: Pulldown
A Version 2 Scene has no size of its own -- it lays itself out inside whatever screen it is shown on, so there is nothing in the backup file to draw it at.
Change this to see the layout re-flow. A Flow Row wraps differently, and any 'Show when' written against %sv2_render_width is asking about exactly this.
Source: guiwins.py line 10115
The Scene's own Properties -- its -- laid out the way Tasker's own "Scene Properties Edit" screen is: UI, Actions and Event, with Event holding Key, Home Tap and Tab Tap.
Path: Scene Properties > Rename
Kind: Command
Tasks address this element by name (Element Text, Element Position, ... 18 action codes in all), so renaming it is not a field edit. The Rename dialog lists what depends on the current name and offers to bring those Tasks along.
Opens Rename Legacy Element, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.
Source: guiwins.py line 6705
Path: Scene Properties > Rename > Cancel
Kind: Command
Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.
Source: guiwins.py line 3454
Path: Scene Properties > Rename > Rename
Kind: Command
Give the object being edited a new name.
Source: guiwins.py line 3455
Path: Scene Properties > Cancel
Kind: Command
Puts these properties back the way they were when this window opened, and drops the actions of any Task edited under the Event tab. A Task already put into the configuration by its own button -- 'Apply to Task', or 'Create Task' -- stays there. Undo takes those back.
Source: guiwins.py line 6998
Path: Scene Properties > Ok
Kind: Command
Keeps everything, including the actions of any Task edited under the Event tab. A Task composed under an event that had none is created and bound if you put any actions in it. Undo takes a Task edit back.
Source: guiwins.py line 7008
Path: Scene Properties > Delete
Kind: Command
Remove the object being edited from the loaded XML.
Source: guiwins.py line 7186
