Bug ID: 504838
Summary: New window rule - prevent sleep when application is
open/focused
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: rules
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nikolay_anza...@abv.bg
CC: isma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
A very useful rule would be one that prevents power-saving features (screen
dimming / screen switch off / sleep) while the window/application it's set for
is:
-RUNNING (as a process, could be in the tray, or minimized),
or OPEN (the program should not be minimized, should be visible on the screen,
even if not focused or under other windows),
or FOCUSED (prevent power-saving only while this window is in focus)
Ideally, it should be customizable to let you select the level of power saving
allowed in a dropdown menu. Here is how the option might look like: [Things in
brackets are dropdowns]
-Prevent [Dimming / Screen off / Sleep] while app is [Focused / Open / Running]
This would be great for many different use cases, for example to prevent sleep
while a music player is playing, but to allow the screen to turn off; or to
prevent screen off while in a RDP session, but to allow dimming. Or to prevent
dimming while playing a game with a controller (they don't count as input and
can't wake the PC).
