Add ability to run ordered actions in a profile about easer

[renyuneyun]

Hmm... Are you considering "ordered operations (i.e. actions) in one profile"?

FYI:
v0.4.6 introduced the ability to add multiple operations in one profile, but they are unordered (at least yet).
v0.5 introduced a (timer) event which can be used to delay for a few minutes. If you don't mind to perform the "following" operation at least one minute later, you can use this method.

Hmm, I was unaware of those two features.. I certainly don't see a way to add multiple actions when editing a profile (at least not in an intuitive way). I'll check it out again and see if I can figure it out (and provide feedback that might make it more intuitive too 😄 ) Ok, I was looking at 'events' and not 'profiles'. I see the very obvious + button on the action to add more actions to a profile 😄 The naming is a little weird, since I'd assume that an event may have one or more profiles/actions associated with it (where some events might share some profiles/actions).

Yea, ultimately 'ordered actions' would be desirable. The delay thing I mentioned before is a simple example. A more complex example might be something like: 1) set volume to 50%, 2) sleep for 10 seconds, 3) send 'play' intent, 4) open 'disco' app, 5) turn wifi off

(assume that the user wants/needs those actions to be performed in that exact order or else they'll have a bad time)

Naming is always what I'm bad of... LOL

Allowing profiles to include each other doesn't seem to be intuitive enough (e.g. if including multiple profiles and some actions are in conflict, choose which one?); allowing to add operations in events makes it unnecessary for defining profiles and makes the idea of "event" more complex. I'm not yet sure how to overcome this problem.

The "ordered actions" seems more related to the event side rather than the profile side. Maybe a more accurate "timer" event and a mechanism (a new event?) to wait for the finish of another event will be enough.
