So, is this a simple change that we can make for ourselves, or does it require a modified plugin? If the latter, can you post your modification.
I would be prepared to try it, though my own solution seems to be working for me at the moment. I have had no problems with WOL. Maybe my answer is not subject to the problem you report. But more likely that issue depends on the model of Mac that one has. I am using a 2007 iMac. I do agree that the best solution is for LMS to deal with the issue in its own code, but I don't see that we "will have to" set the assertions within LMS itself, when ReallyPreventStandby works, rather that it would be *much* neater. The one advantage of my approach is that it does provide a double-clickable way of preventing sleep, whatever else is going on. That is something I find useful. For instance, at the moment I m expecting an instant message from a friend so like to have my Mac awake with display awake, so as to make it easy to check if there is a message. Power assertions would not be the way to go with Messages/iChat, since most of the time one does not need to keep the machine awake, it is just a personal preference. Another case where power assertions wouldn't work is VisualHub, which still works fine but is not being developed further, so we are stuck with it as it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
