Thank you. This has been bugging me forever and was perhaps my main motivation
for reworking the Power Management settings page in Plasma 6.0. It's still
unsolved at this point and I appreciate others speaking up on the same issue.

Agreed. Alternative suggestion: PowerDevil in brightnesscontrol.cpp already has
logic to prevent a profile transition to "lower power" from increasing
brightness. We could easily add the opposite and prevent it from reducing
brightness when AC is plugged in again.

How about we view it as an opportunity to reduce the settings that a user gets
to see by default? If there is *only* a checkbox to manually set brightness
across profiles, and the three sliders are hidden away on a separate sub-page
(you know the one:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/issues/10#note_775764) then we don't
need an extra line and it can be cleaner both in terms of looks as well as less
confusing default behavior.
But what I also really like about this setup is that there is *always* a
configured brightness value. No more "switching to Battery has a brightness
change configured, but switching back to AC is a no-op". The current state can
always be reconstructed from configuration. That will be a major win.
