separate prefs for battery & AC power
I just noticed that my com.apple.PowerManagement.xml file (on my iBook) has separate preference values for battery & AC power. I understand that Jaguar will provide separate preference panes for battery and AC power but this means that it might be possible to get this functionality now by editing the prefs file. I haven't tried this and there is a slight worry that the current Prefs pane would get confused.

On my 10.1.5 iBook, I don't even have this file. I wonder why...

I've since discovered that I don't have that file in my ~/Library/Preferences/ directory, but I do have it in my /private/var/db/SystemConfiguration/ directory.
Re: separate prefs for battery & AC power
I don't expect the difference to show up in the Preferences pane (that is what I alluded to by my worry that the Prefs pane might be confused) but I suspect that if you have different settings in the two sections of the file, you might get different energy-saving behaviours. You could try this out - e.g. set the sleep time for AC power to 100 minutes and for battery to 1 minute and then test it. But don't open the Prefs panel - I suspect opening it might cause it to overwrite the file with whatever is shown in the panel. |
