Feature request: Run when screen is on

[XANi]

I use it mostly to sync pictures back to my desktop and currently there are kinda only two options: Allow it to run on battery (which in my case cuts standby time by almost half) and accept constant power drain or run it only on AC and basically only sync when I connect phone back to power.

But the act of creating new stuff to sync almost always happens when the phone's screen is on. I think it would be nice if there was an option to run it (if on battery) only when the screen is on (and maybe keep it running for like 5-10 minutes after screen is turned off to finish syncing bigger files), or at the very least on schedule so the new files will be uploaded say within an hour, not 2 days later when I connect it to the power

I would also like to second this feature request. I have a similar use-case and I use it to sync pictures.

I think running it periodically would be better for battery life because screen on also means checking notifications and that would lead to multiple sync with in short period of time which could lead to more battery drain compared to periodic sync where, let's say, the app syncs every 3 hours and turns off after the sync is complete.

I worked it around via tasker enabling it when screen is on and disabling it few seconds after screen is off but that's a pretty ugly workaround
