Battery charge limit settings not persisting (also resets when running a game) about powertools HOT 3 OPEN

from powertools.

This is working as intended, so I'm closing this. All settings are supposed to be tied to the game profile.

If you'd like me to reopen it and switch the label to feature request, let me know.

Done.

I'll address the challenges with a change like this, to see if anyone has a solution to them:

Currently, everything is associated with a game profile, which makes the persistent toggle reasonably intuitive to use. Changing one setting to not follow that behaviour is confusing and not immediately obvious. I'd like to not explain that behaviour with text in the UI since many setting descriptions are already long. We need a way that'll allow the user to easily guess the correct answer to

• How does the battery limit setting behave when I start/finish a game?
• How does the persistent profile toggle change how the battery limit setting is saved (or not saved)?

There are also technical challenges, since the whole PowerTools codebase is built around the assumption that anything persistable is part of a game profile. But I don't mind doing a reasonably large refactor to accommodate a different way of doing things if it makes sense.
