Rationale
Now if I boot my laptop, i have 100% brightness and each time I need to reduce this value to my preferred set. I think that system could remember my choice.

Solution #3: Also be able to set defaults
Written by josteinaj the 25 Feb 10 at 19:43.
Same as #1 and #2, but with an option to override the values with default settings. For instance, to "never set volume above 40% at boot" would be good. Same goes for brightness.

Solution #4: Keep the same brightness when plugged in as when unplugged
Written by Mirek2 the 12 Mar 10 at 14:03.
There should be an option in power options to not change the brightness when plugging in and unplugging the computer. Then the user wouldn't have to adjust the brightness to the ideal setting every time he starts/stops charging his laptop.

This is indeed quite annoying and consumes battery life!

It is even more annoying that it reduces brightness although I reset it every time _although_ I disabled that setting.

But there are numerous Ideas/Solutions here that point to a new power management app.

Remember!? It's not working at all! What is there to remember!?
If I boot my laptop I get 100% brightness.
If I unplug power supply I still have 100% brightness.
If I press brightness nothing happens.
I have to set brightness manually through smartdimmer! Surprisingly, without X serwer, using only terminal, screen gets always dimmed...

Useful for those who want to start work in quiet places or not disturb family members, to be able to set silence on startup.

I also find very annoying to change at each boot the brightness at the minimum.
I tried also the applet to change the brightness but even with it, it does not remember the brightness :'(

Is there a launchpad bug for this idea ?
