Description Hans-J. Ullrich 2009-07-14 19:39:10 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Dear maintainers,

I hope, my whish might be o.k. here.

It would be cool, if you could add an option in kpowersave or systemsettings, where you could choose the system, where to save the memory at suspend-to-disk.

With this option it is possible, to save the memory on a sd-card or an usb-stick.

The advantages doing so are:

1. the usb-stick or sd-card can safely be removed and the memory transferred to another computer
2. at powerdown it can be removed (in opposite to saving on swap-partition on the hard drive) and put away (more security)
3. It is faster than restoring from hard drive.
4. choosing the device, where to save, would suspending make more flexible
5. some other advantages I do not have the idea, yet

Just an idea...

Best regards

Hans

This bug is downstream - KDE is not able to control that, such a feature should be implemented in upower first instead.
