Description
It's currently quite annoying to have to click the timeouts from 20 to -1 to just prevent the screen from dimming. Furthermore it means we lose the timeout value and cannot simply turn on/off dimming and suspend. Fortunately there is a way to prevent both screen dimming and suspending programmatically. You can set the "ResourcePolicy?" to keep some Resource always enabled.
E.g. this will prevent the screen from dimming:
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy? Display enabled
By setting this to enabled for the Resource "CPU" you can prevent suspending. This could be a simple checkbox above or below the timeouts, saying:
Prevent screen dimming: X
Prevent suspend: X
There is one open bug on broken screen dimming through an obsolete rules.yaml, and screen dimming is also enabled through the illume Power settings which interferes with the dimming/suspending through frameworkd. But those things can be ironed out...
