How to export Tasker's Projects, Profiles, Tasks and Scenes

By

In order to share your Tasker love (projects, profiles, tasks or scenes) to all Tasker users, you will need to export Tasker's projects, profiles, tasks or scenes to xml files. Anyone out there looking for a specific automation for their Android phone could just download and import the xml files into their Tasker Android application and tweak the automation to suite their own use.

Somehow i felt that the export and import functions are not that intuitive. I did took a bit of time and Googling to find out how to export and import properly.

This post will show you how to access the export function in Tasker.

To export your created projects (in my case my project name is "Super"), tap the project name to pop up a menu.

To export your created profiles, long tap your profile and tap the menu button (the 3 vertical dots at the top right).

The same steps apply for Tasks and scenes.

Note: At the time of writing, this how to is based on Tasker 4.0

After you have exported your Tasker's Projects, Profiles or Tasks, the xml file is saved at these location respectively:
  • Profiles : path_to_sdcard/Tasker/profiles
  • Projects : path_to_sdcard/Tasker/projects
  • Tasks : path_to_sdcard/Tasker/tasks

      On my phone exporting works like youve instructed but on my table the export does not show up anywhere. Extremely annoying so I have no idea on how to export from my tab. Any thoughts?

      I have never tried it on tablet but maybe you can use some of those file explorer that could search through your file system for the xml file export. It might tell you where the exported file located.

A Better SKMEI 1358 Instructions Manual

This SKMEI 1358 digital watch is a great watch for a really cheap price. However, the instructions manual is far from good. It took me some time to explore some of the functions and at the same time trying to understand the instructions manual provided by SKMEI. I decided to write an alternative instructions manual for this watch so that other owners of this watch might benefit from it. But never the less, I am not a good English language writer myself. But I do think it is still better than the instructions manual provided. Feel free to correct me using the comment section.

SKMEI 1358 Review

I bought this watch four months ago and I have been wearing it every week during my weekend hiking. Overall this watch is impressive considering the number of features per the price that I have paid for it. All the features worked flawlessly considering that this is a relatively cheap watch comparing it to Casio ProTrek range of watch. SKMEI 1358 is basically an equivalent of Casio's triple sensors watches. You might know them as Pro Trek or Pathfinder in North America. It has a barometer, a thermometer, and a digital compass. It also has an extra sensor that the Pro Trek watches might not have as far as I know of. It has a pedometer. Yes, it counts steps and estimates the calories burnt and distance traveled. With the combination of these sensors, this is an ideal outdoor watch you can have for a fraction of a Casio Pro Trek price. SKMEI 1358
