Command Reference

MapTasker Command Reference

Every command, option and pulldown in the MapTasker user interface: 259 entries (221 of them commands) across 11 windows.

Generated from the MapTasker 13.0.3 source on 2026-08-30.

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.

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.

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 2458}

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.

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.

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.

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.

Path: Main Window > Edit Task > 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 1545}

Save To Current File

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

Saves the entire backup -- every Project, Profile and Task in it, not just this Task -- 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. This writes to this computer only -- nothing is sent to your Android device.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 1549}

Save To Android

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

This opens a choice of two: write the Task as a standalone file onto your Android device under /Tasker/tasks, or import it straight 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), and Tasker must be 6.2 or higher.

The Android device must be on the same network, and the IP Address and Port must match its Tasker server settings.

The file write needs no authorization prompt; the import asks for one, and you must exit and restart Tasker to see an imported Task in the Tasker UI.

Opens Save To Android, whose own commands are listed beneath this one.

Cancel

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

Closes this dialog and keeps nothing it was holding.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 1637}

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.

No authorization prompt is needed for this.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 1638}

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.

Preview

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.

Save To Current File

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.

Import Into Tasker

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 diagram is clickable:

Click a Project, Profile, Task or Scene name to be taken to it in the Map.

Shift-click a Task to light up the whole chain of calls it takes part in -- everything it calls, everything that calls it, and the arrows between them.

Right-click any name for the rest: collapse its Project, show only that Project, follow its chain.

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

_{Source: guiwins.py line 7542}

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8991}

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 9000}

Narrow to Project

Path: Map / Diagram / Tree View Toolbar > Find/Replace > Narrow to Project
Kind: Pulldown

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

Hidden under a scope, for the reason the Find tab's own gives.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 9956}

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 10011}

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 10017}

Preview

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

Display the Scene being edited as it will appear.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 10501}

_{Source: guiwins.py line 10502}

Find

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

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8292}

Actions

Path: Scene Preview Window > Actions
Kind: Option

Show what each component does when tapped, and what it writes to.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8305}

Landscape

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 8346}

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 8369}

Snap

Path: Scene Preview Window > Snap
Kind: Pulldown

Round dragged positions and sizes to this many pixels.

_{Source: guiwins.py line 8402}

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 8425}
