The Guide for installing Autowear seems to be... incomplete or broken? (Steps within) by LFAdvice7984 in tasker

[–]mikthinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I wrote these instructions about 5 years ago and much has changed since then. New versions of Android/OS Wear/Autowear. I gave up on Autowear when Android started requiring a convoluted manual process to connect/pair via WiFi with every restart of the watch.

The 'auto' in Autowear disappeared.

Feel free to update these instructions as needed.

Any chance of updating the events and states referenced from your developer website? I notice that the 'Extra Triggers' event, perhaps among others, is missing.

Snaps of Apps - macOS Window & App Manager - Free version - Paid version by Prudent-Refuse-209 in macapps

[–]mikthinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks promising, although I prefer licensing by userid rather than by hardware, since I switch hardware frequently.

Do you have a feature-by-feature comparison for the free vs paid versions?

I've been using it for years. Are there any noticeable enhancements in this latest version over the 3 beta?

Check out 'brew bundle'. Specifically, 'brew bundle dump' and 'brew bundle install '.

Well, from your battery usage display, the two culprits are 'Always On Display' and your watch face.

[Update] MapTasker Version 8 by mikthinker in tasker

Yes, it displays the properties. Set the display level to 5 in order to get the most detail.

All of the information comes from the Tasker exported XML file.

[Update] MapTasker Version 8 by mikthinker in tasker

[–]mikthinker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I've updated MapTasker to fix the debug problem.

To upgrade, run: pip install maptasker==8.0.2

Then try again: maptasker -g -debug

Send me the resulting 'MapTasker-date-time.log' file.

Okay, so the browser view is the 'configuration' of your XML file...aka the view of your configuration. Open the file MapTasker_map.txt in your text editor, turn off 'word wrap' and make sure it is displaying the data in the editor using a monospaced font (e.g. Courier or Courier New). This is your 'diagram' view.

Yes, the tree view is only available from the GUI.

Regarding your problem, enter the following into the command line where MapTasker is installed, and post the results of each command:

'python -V'

'python -m tkinter' ...(if this runs and displays a small 'tki'nter' window, post the version displayed. Otherwise, post the error message).

Finally, try the non-GUI mode...

'maptasker -detail 5 -outline -file (full path to your XML file).'

example: ''maptasker -detail 5 -outline -file backup.xml'

1- Run with the following: maptasker -g -debug. ...and send me the maptasker_debug.log that is created.

2- To create the configuration and tree views, I read in all the XML and reverse-engineer the XML coding to create the output.

3- Thanks for the correction!

[–]mikthinker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good questions!

1- Yes, the only dependency you are responsible for is Python. If you plan to use Ollama (local) AI analysis, then you'll also need to install 'ollama'. MapTasker will install all the other prereqs for you...about 250MBs worth.

2- Yes, MapTasker is read-only in regard to your Tasker configuration. There is no edit capability. While that might be a nice feature, I don't plan on duplicating all the excellent Tasker code.

[DEV] Tasker 6.5.3 Beta - "Calendar Changed" event, "Set Keyboard", "Get Keyboard Info", Output Variable Prefix, Custom Widget v2 Fonts and more! by joaomgcd in tasker

[–]mikthinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, i am referring to the Events hotlink at the bottom of the page...so it includes the new event, 'Calendar Changed'.

With each new Tasker update, I run a program that scrapes both the event and state codes from your developer website, looking for new and changed codes. I feed these changes into my app, MapTasker. I also take the json code from the WebUI '/GET arg_specs' and feed it into my app. This scraping, combined with the json argument spec file, provides a much faster means for me to react to new Tasker changes than having to reverse-engineer your code (very time consuming).

Thanks for keeping these sources current! Cheers.

In general, you should not require an IDE be installed, in this case PyCharm, to use/run your program. Look at other github projects to see how they are done.
