Any setting that is changeable via GUI and doesn't get stored is VERY
annoying.
The reason I haven't spoken against this specific item (dim/sleep
timings) is because I think there is always bigger fish to fry, more
critical bugs to solve first, and I (wrongly) assumed the developers
would think so too - but I see too much innovation and not enough
stabilization. Well... so be it, you're not paid to do this, so I
understand if you want to implement a lot of shiny new gadgets in the
framework instead of fixing nasty bugs.
Unfortunately, the SHR developers have been taking more and more
usability decisions without consulting the user community. I would like
it very much if they would poll the community before changing any
usability aspect of SHR. Not only the users may become
dissatisfied/confused by changes, but we also may have positive input to
give.
If you choose to do this, do it in this mailing list, not on IRC. Most
of us do not have the time or opportunity to be in chat rooms.
Developers are not alone, and that does not have to be a bad thing.
Leverage your users.
Damn, this community needs a manager really bad... :/
