Command Reference

MapTasker Command Reference

Every command, option and pulldown in the MapTasker user interface: 343 entries (273 of them commands) across 14 windows.

Generated from the MapTasker 14.0.1 source on 2026-09-13 by build_command_wiki.py. Do not edit this page by hand -- rerun that program instead.

How to use this page

Searching: press Ctrl/⌘ + F and 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 Tasker means 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.

AI Model

Path: Main Window > AI Model
Kind: Pulldown

Select the model belonging to the AI you wish to use.

_{Source: guiutils.py line 166}

Refactor

Path: Main Window > Refactor
Kind: Command

The structural changes that Add, Edit and Delete cannot make: pull a run of a Task's actions out into a Task of their own, fold a Perform Task back into its caller, move a Task or Profile to another Project, or duplicate any object.

Nothing is changed until you press Preview and then Apply, and the preview says what will happen step by step -- or why it will not.

The whole of a refactor is one press of Undo afterwards.

Opens Refactor, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 515}

Exit

Path: Main Window > Exit
Kind: Command

Exit the program (quit).

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8168}

Close Tabs On Exit

Path: Main Window > Close Tabs On Exit
Kind: Option

When enabled, clicking 'Exit' also closes the main MapTasker window and any Map/Diagram windows/tabs it opened.

When disabled, 'Exit' shuts down MapTasker but leaves those windows/tabs open.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8177}

Open View In New Window

Path: Main Window > Open View In New Window
Kind: Option

When enabled, each Map/Diagram request opens in its own new window/tab, so you can keep earlier ones up alongside it to compare.

When disabled, a request reuses that view's existing window/tab, replacing what's in it.

Leave it off unless you want to compare: a brand new window/tab is the one your browser may block, since it gets opened once the view has finished building rather than the instant you click.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8192}

Map

Path: Main Window > Map
Kind: Command

Displays the Map view.

Use this to display the Tasker configuration of your Projects, Profiles, Tasks, and Scenes.

Compare Files

Path: Main Window > Compare Files
Kind: Command

Compare another XML file against the loaded one: what was added, removed, renamed and changed.

Use it to see what a TaskerNet import brought in, what an edit changed, or what is different between two backups.

If the loaded file came from 'Save to Current File', the file it was saved from is offered directly.

Results are displayed here and saved to a text file in the current directory.

Opens Compare Files, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

Changes Since...

Path: Main Window > Changes Since...
Kind: Command

What has changed in your configuration since a moment you choose: today, this week, this month, everything kept, or a specific date.

No file to pick -- every configuration you load is kept, compressed, in a MapTasker_Timeline folder in the current directory, and the one from back then is compared against what you have open now.

Results are displayed here and saved to a text file in the current directory.

Opens Changes Since, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

Variable Xref

Path: Main Window > Variable Xref
Kind: Command

Trace every %variable in the loaded XML: where each one is set, where it is read, which are read but never set, which are set but never read, and which near-identical names (%MyVar against %Myvar) are likely typos.

Searched: Task actions and their conditions, plugin configuration, Profile contexts and Scenes.

Results are displayed here and saved to a text file in the current directory.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8331}

Task Flow

Path: Main Window > Task Flow
Kind: Command

Read every Task's control flow -- its If/Else/End If, For/End For, Goto and Stop -- and report what does not hold together: a block that is never closed, a Goto aimed at a label no action carries, and actions nothing can ever reach.

With a single Task chosen in the 'Specific Name' tab, that Task is also drawn as a flowchart in its own window, with an arrow from every Goto to the action it lands on.

Results are displayed here and saved to a text file in the current directory.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8356}

Opens Edit Project, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8529}

Enabled

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Enabled
Kind: Option

Disables the Project in the loaded backup, right now -- like Rename, this takes effect immediately rather than waiting for a save, and Cancel does not undo it.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 903}

Cancel

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Cancel
Kind: Command

Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 946}

Rename

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Rename
Kind: Command

Prompts for a new name and applies it to the loaded backup, right now. The Project Name field above is read-only -- this is the only way to change it.

Opens Rename, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 951}

Cancel

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Rename > Cancel

Rename

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Rename > Rename
Kind: Command

Give the object being edited a new name.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 3434}

Save To Current File

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 962}

Save To Android

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 983}

Verify

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.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 646}

Check IDs

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Save To Android > Check IDs
Kind: Option

Has the device make a fresh backup before anything is sent, and compares its IDs with the ones being sent.

It reports an ID Tasker has already given to a different Project, Profile or Task, and an object Tasker has under a different ID. Tasker can leave an object out of an import when its ID is already taken -- and IDs for anything added here come from the loaded backup, which the device may have moved past.

It takes a few seconds, and installs a small 'MapTasker Backup For ID Check' Task on the device the first time. The backup is read into memory and deleted from the device; it is not saved on this computer.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 677}

Cancel

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Save To Android > Cancel
Kind: Command

Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.

Save As File

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Save To Android > Save As File
Kind: Command

This will write the Project, and everything in it, as a standalone file onto the Android device, under /Tasker/projects.

The IP Address and Port must match the Android device's 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 Round Trip Report, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

Import Into Tasker

Path: Main Window > Edit Project > Save To Android > Import Into Tasker
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.

The device will ask you to authorize MapTasker the first time.

Import Into Tasker

Path: Main Window > Edit Profile > Add Task > Save To Android > Import Into Tasker
Kind: Command

This puts the Task straight into Tasker's live configuration on the Android device. Unlike a Profile, a Project or a Scene, no import screen and no tap on the device are needed -- Tasker's api/import takes a Task directly.

The Task is copied to /Tasker/tasks on the device first and imported from there, so the copy stays behind as a record of exactly what was imported. You will be asked before it replaces a file already at that path.

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.

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.

Kind: Command

Saves the entire backup -- every Project, Profile and Task in it, not just this Profile -- with this dialog's edits applied, the same ones 'Ok' would keep. 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.

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.

Kind: Option

Has the device make a fresh backup before anything is sent, and compares its IDs with the ones being sent.

It reports an ID Tasker has already given to a different Project, Profile or Task, and an object Tasker has under a different ID. Tasker can leave an object out of an import when its ID is already taken -- and IDs for anything added here come from the loaded backup, which the device may have moved past.

It takes a few seconds, and installs a small 'MapTasker Backup For ID Check' Task on the device the first time. The backup is read into memory and deleted from the device; it is not saved on this computer.

Path: Main Window > Edit Task > Save To Android > Check IDs
Kind: Option

Has the device make a fresh backup before anything is sent, and compares its IDs with the ones being sent.

It reports an ID Tasker has already given to a different Project, Profile or Task, and an object Tasker has under a different ID. Tasker can leave an object out of an import when its ID is already taken -- and IDs for anything added here come from the loaded backup, which the device may have moved past.

It takes a few seconds, and installs a small 'MapTasker Backup For ID Check' Task on the device the first time. The backup is read into memory and deleted from the device; it is not saved on this computer.

Save As File

Path: Main Window > Edit Task > Save To Android > Save As File
Kind: Command

This will write the Task as a standalone file onto the Android device, under /Tasker/tasks.

The IP Address and Port must match the Android device's 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.

Import Into Tasker

Path: Main Window > Edit Task > Save To Android > Import Into Tasker
Kind: Command

This puts the Task straight into Tasker's live configuration on the Android device. Unlike a Profile, a Project or a Scene, no import screen and no tap on the device are needed -- Tasker's api/import takes a Task directly.

The Task is copied to /Tasker/tasks on the device first and imported from there, so the copy stays behind as a record of exactly what was imported. You will be asked before it replaces a file already at that path.

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.

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.

Save To Current File

Path: Main Window > Add Task > Save To Current File
Kind: Command

Saves the entire backup -- every Project, Profile and Task in it, not just this one -- with the new Task added to it, the same way 'Ok' adds it. 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.

Verify

Path: Main Window > Add Task > 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.

How long a pop-up message stays on screen before it disappears.

'Until dismissed' keeps every message up until you close it, which is useful when a message scrolls past before you can read it.

A few messages set their own longer duration because they list things you have to read -- the Tasks affected by deleting or renaming a Scene element, for instance. Those keep their own timing whatever is chosen here.

Reset Options

Path: Main Window > Reset Options
Kind: Command

Font Optionmenu

Path: Main Window > Font Optionmenu
Kind: Pulldown

This is a list of all of the fonts available on your system, monospaced ones first and marked as such.

The font selected will be used in all output.

'Courier' or 'Courier New' is highly recommended for Diagrams to ensure proper connector alignment. A font that is not monospaced will not hold the Diagram's connectors or the output's indentation in line.

List Helper Tasks

Path: Main Window > Get XML from Android Device > List Helper Tasks
Kind: Command

Lists the 'MapTasker ...' Tasks this program has installed on the Android device, and says which are left over from an earlier version.

Each one is installed under a versioned name and never replaced -- Tasker's import adds a second Task rather than replacing the first -- so old ones stay behind in your Task list. They do no harm; they are clutter.

Delete the ones it names from Tasker's own Tasks tab. Nothing here can do it for you: Tasker's HTTP API has no way to delete a Task.

Opens Helper Tasks, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

Click the ▾ beside a Project to collapse it, and the ▸ to bring it back.

Ctrl (or ⌘) and the scroll wheel zooms. Esc clears a chain.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 3647}

Search

Path: Map / Diagram / Tree View Toolbar > Search
Kind: Command

The 'Search' button will search for and highlight every instance of the case-insensitive string entered in the search box, starting at the top of the data.

It will only show the first 200 instances of the search string.

Click on the line number to go to that line in the text view box.

Find/Replace

Path: Map / Diagram / Tree View Toolbar > Find/Replace
Kind: Command

'Find/Replace' asks the loaded configuration a question rather than searching the text on screen: every Task performing a given action, every Profile a given trigger fires, everything that names a given app or Scene.

The boxes combine -- pick a trigger and an action to find the Profiles that trigger that way and run a Task that does that.

Results come back as a list of objects; click one to be taken to it.

Opens Find / Replace, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 6168}

Only the matching text

Path: Map / Diagram / Tree View Toolbar > Find/Replace > Only the matching text
Kind: Option

There is no tooltip on this one; this is the note written beside it in the source.

Off means the argument is SET to the new value; on means only the matched text inside it changes. Both are things people mean by "replace", and which one they meant cannot be guessed from the two boxes above -- so it is asked, in the one place where the answer is visible while the values are being typed.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 6223}

Add it where missing

Path: Map / Diagram / Tree View Toolbar > Find/Replace > Add it where missing
Kind: Option

There is no tooltip on this one; this is the note written beside it in the source.

Tasker leaves out an argument nobody ever set, so this is what makes "give every Flash a Timeout" reach the Flashes that have none. Off by default: adding an argument to a hundred actions is a bigger thing than editing the ones that already have it, and the preview marks every row that is an addition rather than a change.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 6229}

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 2232}

Apply to Task

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 2328}

Create Task

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.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 4485}

Text density

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 4508}

Snap

Path: Scene Preview Window > Snap
Kind: Pulldown

Round dragged positions and sizes to this many pixels.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 4541}

Screen

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 4564}

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 1700}

Ok

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.
