Hi,
To expand on the use case I have: I often let my laptop 'do things'
(compile code, download stuff, do a 'yum update', wait for an answer
of somebody via IM) where immediate attention isn't needed, but it
needs to be somewhat monitored nevertheless (does the code still
compile or did it abort because of a typo?,
Actually I have the system ping me for that (and have PM inhibited) -
iff i actually compile on battery (and in general if i'm not doing
anything else)
But that's not relevant, what i claim is that this
to 50% of last brightness' allows me to cover that use case.
is moot.
The ability to actually read onscreen content depends on the actual
screen content (contrast) and the environment (sunshine, night, panel
glas) why i claimed that for a particular brightness state (not too
bright, not too dark - juts readable) user interaction is required
(maybe a light sensor, but all i've used are rather nasty than anything
else)
So i absolutely doubt that this usecase could be reasonably covered by a
preset configuration - that kicks in timer based.
Well, *shrug* it would work for me ;)
As I just found out that powerdevil supports loading plugins, I can also
write my own version of dimdisplay that suits my use case; it doesn't
necessarily need to live in the KDE repos.
One question about that, though: How is one supposed to handle the
powerdevil includes? It looks like powerdevilaction.h and
powerdevilactionconfg.h are not installed in a public location?
Thanks,
Danny
