This works well, thanks! Works better than similar products out there that have tried to do the same thing. I like that there's an option to sleep only if certain application(s) are running but having an option to not sleep if certain applications are on would be the other half to make this a complete utility. For example, yesterday it went to sleep on me while on a Skype chat, simply because no buttons were pressed for 15 mins during the chat. Also, if something is downloading for more than 15 mins, like a bittorrent, then this application would sleep my computer which is not what I want. Of course, I could always quit the app when using these things but if there's an inclusion list, it would make sense to have an exclusion list as well. Perhaps this is easier said than done since one list could override the other, but a toggle/checkbox could be a start.

I agree about it needing an exclusion list. With that it would be perfect for my situation.Reply to This
