Apply "Convert Characters or Text" on notifications sent with Tasker

[aronisstav]

Hi and kudos for making a very useful app!

I am trying to temporarily overcome Pebble's limited support for international characters by passing almost every notification through Pebble Notifier and converting the respective characters (luckily I only have a small character set) using "Convert Characters or Text".

For incoming calls, I want to display the caller's name using the respective Tasker variable (%CNAME), with a notification when the phone is ringing. Unfortunately I can see that the characters are not converted there.

I would have sent a patch, but I haven't ever done any developing for Android/Tasker/Pebble and I think it would be easier if you could consider gluing these obviously available parts together.

Thanks for considering this question/feature request!

I have another wish for "Content Characters or Text". When pebble shows notifications from apps with a long name, the title uses much space. E.g. a notification from "Touchdown for SmartPhones", the title takes more than 1/2 from the pebble screen.

I tried to use "Convert characters or text" to convert "for SmartPhones" to " " but looks like this feature does not support titles (tested with single characters).

Furthermore the UI has been designed to support single characters or short texts, longer texts are difficult to write. Would be nice to have a support for longer texts when modifying titles.
