Public bug reported:
First some motivation:
At work I have an extra monitor of type A connected to my laptop. This monitor
has certain resolution characteristics, is placed to the *right* of the laptop,
has adjusted gamma/brightness/contrast in a certain way and the display if
functioning as an extended desktop.
In the meeting room, I connect the projector to the laptop but this projector
should just display a mirror of my primary display on the laptop - in a lower
resolution, however.
At home I have connected another monitor of type B, but this is placed to the
*left* of the laptop with another configuration of gamma/brightness/contrast
and with other resolution characteristics.
The wish:
I would like to be able to easily switch between each location specific display
configuration without having to redo all the configuration work manually each
time I switch location (which happens several times a day!).
Solution suggestion:
In the display configuration in System Settings, a "save current config" button
could be added together with a text input widget allowing the user to save the
current configuration together with a label (e.g. "work", "meeting room" or
"home").
The user should be able to restore a saved display config by simply selecting
it from a dropdown menu showing all the saved display configs.
It should, of course, be possible to adjust a saved configuration with
updated parameter settings.
Optimally, the dropdown menu should also be available as a desktop
applet, allowing the user to switch display config directly, without
having to visit System Settings -> Display Config.
