Hi Apologies if this has been covered else where but is it possible to set a priority of a task launched from a shortcut as you can from a Profile?

A lot of my Tasks (show scene etc...) are based on shortcuts instead of being launched from profiles.

Thanks

Matt

Not individually, for general setting see Menu / Prefs / Action.

There is a way to do it individually, but it may not help performance (or may actually hurt performance) with shorter tasks.  Instead of using the shortcut to launch your task directly, use it to launch an intermediate task whose only action Perform Task.  Use this action to launch your original task with a higher priority.

Thanks both, I'll go the Prefs > Action route. Always feels like an age to me waiting for a screen tap to actually do anything (even if it's half a second :) )
