You can also get the updated app factory here.

If you want you can also check any previous releases here.

List File/Folder Properties

Demo:

The other day I realized that doing bulk file operations in Tasker is a bit hard.

For example, listing files recursively inside a folder and its subfolders should be easier. Checking if you have any empty folders is another example of something that should be simpler.

Also, listing multiple file properties at once (name and size for example) should be possible without multiple actions.

That’s why I created this new action!

It’s still a bit barebones right now, but I’m willing to add more output info, filters or other stuff that makes sense, so let me know if you have any ideas!

Let me know what you think :)

Array Compare

Demo:

This is a simple action: it takes 2 or more arrays and tells you the common and distinct elements in them. That’s it!

Let me know if it makes sense to output more stuff!

User Restrictions

Demo:

This is a new option in the Device Admin/Owner action that allows you to impose certain restrictions on your device/user.

Check out the video for examples but below are the restrictions you can toggle. I don’t even know what some of them are, but it seemed interesting enough for me to add.

Keep in mind that you could already do this with the Custom option, but this makes it easier to select the restrictions without having to look up the documentation.
