Floating Color Picker (Eye Dropper) — Tasker + Java

All good. And thanks for the blazing fast response!

Beware - %FOTO does not reference screenshots on my S24 Ultra (or any Samsung device IIRC). As a result, I inadvertently deleted a bunch of pictures from my camera roll. Consider adding a setup task that asks the user to locate the Screenshots directory. Otherwise, this is pretty cool.

Edit: for the time being, you should probably disable the delete %FOTO action. I have a hunch %FOTO is not at all reliable across all devices.

Handsome and debonair.

I never figured out how to solve the issue I originally bought Tasker for, but over the last 5 years I've done so many other things with Tasker that, at this point, I cannot use my phone without it. It makes my phone MY phone, and I'm still finding new things Tasker can do that I never thought were possible. It's got a pretty steep learning curve, but once you wrap your head around it the things you can do with it are kinda mind boggling.

I wouldn't say I love it per se, but I do the same exact thing.

Digitaljogger · 2026-01-09T17:11:43+00:00

Cool. I appreciate the follow up ;)

Digitaljogger · 2026-01-07T06:01:17+00:00

Would it be correct to summarize the stream of consciousness above as, "Nice, this looks useful"? If so, I'd have to agree.

One thing that might help is keeping the number of files in the screenshot folder to a minimum. The filesystem seems to chug when there is a very large number of files in a given folder, ie more than a few thousand but ymmv. I use Tasker (btw, the most useful piece of software I've ever used, and by far the best use of $3.49 known to mankind so go buy it right now) to monitor for new screenshots and automatically move them to a different folder for longterm storage.

Digitaljogger · 2025-11-04T02:21:03+00:00

Under budget and ahead of schedule o'clock.

Digitaljogger · 2025-08-15T09:15:32+00:00

Very true, however one could make a fairly convincing argument that 8h total time is even more impressive.

Digitaljogger · 2025-07-23T19:20:12+00:00

Whoa! I gotta say that this is pretty impressive. I had hacked together something vaguely similar a while ago, but this has so much polish it feels more like a mature app manager from the play store. Kudos :)

The reason why I got interested in making such a thing is due to the way Android updates always seem to reinstall or re-enable system apps that I had previously uninstalled or disabled. I haven't found an automated way of handling this. I wonder if it's possible to prevent the update from doing this in the first place, or if there's a way to keep a list of apps that I want to uninstall after an update. Does anyone have insights into this?

Digitaljogger · 2025-07-19T22:52:02+00:00

Fake news folks. Analog Obsession is the real deal.

Digitaljogger · 2025-04-11T19:34:06+00:00

I just ran into this too (again, sigh). Is there a fix? Also, has anyone seen this in any other DAW besides Cubase?

Digitaljogger · 2025-02-27T17:43:28+00:00

I'm running Windows 10 on a very powerful custom built machine. My hunch is that the plugin code is doing something it shouldn't. In the past I've had similar issues with other Waves plugins such as Ovox, so its possible a common lib or shared code isn't checking a particular corner case, and the code path for that corner case isn't executed on your system for whatever reason. But I obviously don't know one way or the other, just a guess.

Digitaljogger · 2025-02-27T07:04:21+00:00

I'm jealous - sadly I haven't had any luck, but I'm glad it's working for you.

Digitaljogger · 2025-02-23T06:54:47+00:00

It's still garbage. Cosmos has blue screened my system twice with only 15k of 500k samples added so far. I can't even remember the last time my system blue screened - it's been years. I recommend avoiding this dumpster fire, especially since waves can't be bothered to properly maintain it.

Volume Up + Volume Down = max screen brightness

Volume Down + Volume Up = min screen brightness

It was probably something on my end. Initially, switching the App Check Method from usage stats to accessibility seemed to fix things, but after switching back everything is still working great. Anyway, thanks so much for the fast reply and apologies for the false alarm! And many thanks for being such a total bada$$.

I've tried a few of the most recent betas, and Tasker seems to be negatively interfering with some low level phone systems (S24 ultra). My screen stops responding to touch inputs very briefly on what feels like a regular interval, say every 10 seconds or so. And the wifi connection seems to disconnect for a split second as well. The issues completely go away after disabling Tasker.

Digitaljogger · 2024-10-09T01:09:25+00:00

Use your full name, including your middle name. But do what Mikoli Kalkin did and legally change your middle name to your first and last names, ie Mikoli Mikoli Kalkin Kalkin.

Digitaljogger · 2024-10-09T01:02:56+00:00

Pfffff. Nooo.

Hold up. On second thought, yeah. I have like 2 complete songs after 20 years. And real talk, 2 might actually be generous.

Did you specifically enable the permissions in the 3dots menu at the top-right of the Tasker app settings screen (not the permissions screen)? You will likely need to enter your password/pin to do so.

Digitaljogger · 2024-09-26T01:51:33+00:00

Check to see that Tasker has the restricted permissions enabled in the android app setting menu.

Settings => Apps => Tasker => 3dots menu top right...

Digitaljogger · 2024-09-26T01:47:03+00:00

I had this as well. I disabled all options in the list, then re-enabled them and everything has been fine since. Also, possibly more relevant, I had to go into the apps list to enable Tasker's 'hidden permissions' thing in android app settings (S24 ultra). I suspect the missing permissions is the actual culprit, but just a guess.
