For me, it happened to me that the computer went to sleep in 2 very annoying
and frustrating cases:
1. While I've put a huge folder to be copied or moved to another location.
2. While I've put a long running command in Konsole to do something.
I don't remember exactly what it was, maybe an rsync or something else.
For me it was very annoying that these two long running and potentially
dangerous if interrupted actions were not enough to inhibit by default the
sleep.
I had to start over the copy or move of the huge folder as I could not be sure
anymore that the interruptions with the sleep wouldn't have corrupted something
from the transfer.
It would be great if copy or move in Dolphin and still running commands in
Konsole would ihibit the sleep by default.
I too forget to that sleep is one and have to turn it off before long running
commands as I don't expect that the computer goes off by default, when I leave
it alone as it's unnatural to do something that I have not instructed it to do.
I understand the reason with the energy saving and I agree with it for the sake
of the environment, but I think Plasma could be just a bit smarter about this
as idle while copying / moving things or long running commands in the terminal
is normal.
We can't just always stay near the computer until everything finishes.
I think both Dolphin and Konsole should inform Plasma when they are busy doing
something.
Screen lock is not a problem as actions can continue without problems, but
sleep and hibernate is as we can never be sure if the tasks were paused and
resumed correctly without anything being lost.
In my opinion only Qbittorrent and other similar clients can do that as you can
even verify the files afterwards to make sure everything is still there as it
supposed to be. I think there is impossible to have unnoticed missing /
incomplete / corrupted folders or files.
