At the same time, the combobox for selecting a profile in the battery applet<br>
will be removed. It will, although, be replaced by a toggle button for<br>
inhibition: by enabling/disabling it, power management features regarding<br>
screen suspension, notifications and screen power management will be<br>
suspended. Technically speaking, the battery applet will trigger a full<br>
inhibition on the power manager while this button is still on.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Something like having Power mode switch:</div><div><br></div><div>[Performance] [Normal] [Battery stretch]</div><div>
<br></div><div>where Normal is current static profile; Performance - temporary disables any limitations; Battery stretch - disables everything, that can be disabled [Wifi, audio, CPU turbo mode etc]</div><div><br></div><div>

And how do we cope with the users wanting to have very specific behavior in<br>
certain situations? This is where activities kick in. We will allow to<br>
configure a "profile" for each activity, if the user wants to, in two<br>
different ways: action override and profile override. Let me expand.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sound awesome :) </div><div><br></div><div>I hope there would be a way to pin profile of other activity? </div>
<div><br></div><div>Say you have 10 profiles named "Project [project name]". To have same profile for work activities user could just set "Use same profile as in 'Project default' ".</div><div>

<br></div><div>P.s. power profiles can define brightness, so if different activities has different power profiles with brightness set up, there should be some kind of scheme of preventing blinking screen when Meta+tab is used to toggle profiles. </div>
