Re: separate prefs for battery & AC power
Authored by: hayne on Jul 25, '02 02:08:37AM

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.
