There are two questions 1) what is the most useful (or conversely, misleading) information for the user 2) what is pleasant/pretty for the user
My experience is that non-tech-savvy users tend to consider inaccurate predictions to be simply "wrong". This means that they are (1) not useful and (2) ugly because they make the desktop look broken. Given a percentage charge left it is quite natural to realise that that charge may be used up at a different speed depending on what the computer is used for. Giving a predicted time only serves to add another layer: (a) understand why then computer "thinks" I have 20m of battery left (b) work out whether that should be adjusted based on what I'm actually doing. For this reason "intelligent" measures of time left are probably more annoying than dumb ones (at least dumb ones are consistent). _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
