Greetings! This is my first mail to this list, although I've been using Xfce for about two years. I really like the battery plugin and have a few suggestions that would make it (in my opinion) even better. I'm using the xfce4-battery-plugin version 0.3.0-2 package for Debian/testing. 1. When charging from AC, it would be nice to see how long it will take to charge it to 100%. Running 'acpitool -B' shows "Remaining capacity : 25230 mWh, 85.90%, 00:31:53", could that time estimate be shown in the battery plugin tooltip, perhaps? 2. The ability to run commands at certain percentages of remaining battery power is really useful. However, it would be even more useful if you could type any command into the box instead of having to choose a program. For instance, I would like to run 'sudo hibernate' when the battery level is critical. -- Pär Johansson
