Feature Request: Allow option to active automatically when plugged in the power outlet

[brodock]

It would be nice to have it activate automatically the first time when you plug the laptop in the power outlet.

That should happen only right after it is plugged in, so if you want to disable it after you can just click the notification icon again.

That's a nice idea. I wonder if more people could find this useful?

I can imagine implementing this as optional behaviour that you can enable in the preferences.

I need this :)

Hello,
I need this as well. My device is plugged in most of the time and KeepingYouAwake is active all the time. However, it rightfully deactivates itself when the battery runs low. I want the application to re-activate as soon as plugged in (or charged to a certain level).

How about a solution on the Advanced settings tab:

"Reactivate when battery capacity is above:..."

Yes, I was surprised that there is an option for "Deactive when battery capacity is low" but "auto-disable/enable" is not implemented. I'm not an OSX developer myself, is there a system event that can be used to implement this behavior?

I will work on this.

The implementation activates the keep awake function in ±10 seconds after plugged in.
