Different brightness level settings for battery and AC
Dear all,
For the Power settings screen, I would like to suggest a setting to set different brightness levels for battery use and AC state.
This would be very useful since display brightness level is one of the most significant factors in power consumption. Such a setting would simplify the user experience to the extent that the user does not have to change the brightness levels manually anymore.
Thankfully,
Robert

Please no. I hated this whenever I had desktop that did this - main problem is the time.
Consider this scenario. I work before lunch plugged in, then after lunch battery is full and I can unplug. I do some work and as the afternoon goes by I decrease the brightness to correspond to ambient light. Then during the evening my battery gets low and I plug it in. The brightness instantly jumps to the level I have set few hours ago during lunch (mid day) - probably blinding bright. You can also imagine opposite scenarios.
My experience is that this feature was always more annoying than helpful and it's much better to just have the control in your hands fully.
