(Get the code!)
Users be damned, the developer is always right! Ahem.
So, here's my case. I run MythTV. When it records a TV program, it has no user interface. It runs in the background, and after it's finished recording, it runs a task called MYTHCOMMFLAG that removes commercials. When that job finishes, then it's ok for the system to sleep again.
In Caffiene 2.5, it allowed me to set prefs to watch for MYTHCOMMFLAG, and do the right thing.
I also used it to monitor others apps, like VLC, so that if I was watching a video, not in full screen, the system wouldn't sleep in the middle of playback.
So... credit to you for your hard work... I'd recommend scrapping versions 2.6+, and just maintaining version 2.5.
Cheers, Al
