Public bug reported:
The action to take when the battery is critical can only be one of the
following:
# Possible values are:
# PowerOff
# Hibernate
# HybridSleep
Adding Suspend to that list makes perfect sense. My laptop is currently
powering off on low power which is useless as I'll be losing my work
anyway. Might as well suspend and allow me to notice that and connect a
charger. If the thinking is that suspend uses power I can set a high
enough threshold to give me some margin.
The failovers are:
# If HybridSleep isn't available, Hibernate will be used
# If Hibernate isn't available, PowerOff will be used
I'd argue Suspend should actually come before PowerOff in that list. For
most laptop users having their computer suspend because they didn't
notice the battery was running out is very easy to fix and takes no
time. They'll just connect the charger. If however the computer needs to
be completely rebooted, not only does that take a lot more time it will
very likely cause lost work.
