I think this calls for a revisit of an old idea: load a custom config file
at
specific events. Like when running plugged-in etc. That way you could have
one config file for when running from the mains power and that could
enable optical out, while the standard config would have it disabled.
Having options doing this magic on their own seems like the wrong way to
go.
Or am I missing something?
A generic internal way to update specific settings based on power changes
could be useful. However I don't think simply loading two complete cfg
files is the way to go if that's what you're suggesting - most settings
don't need seperate battery/charger options. The spdif out is unusual in
that battery power is affected if it's enabled.
As far as the UI is concerned, I think it's much cleaner to just enable
setting menus for battery/charger use as I've done where it's genuinely
useful. I believe the only other place that actually does this are the
backlight settings (and my backlight peakmeter patch), and speaking as a
user, I like it that way.
