Description Jan Sommer 2013-08-17 17:46:51 UTC
KScreen remembers the display settings based on the connected device.
Please add the option to run a custom script after new display settings are automatically applied. This is especially useful for people with Notebooks which regularly connect to a display at work/home. This way stardard tasks like the following would be applied automatically upon connecting a certain display:
- Switch the pulseaudio settings from/to HDMI-output
- Switch to a certain Activity setting
- (In Future) switch between plasma-active and plasma-desktop
- Trigger any changes which are related to a certain workplace

I think at first it would be enough to add an option in a config-file to run a command or script, later it could be integrated into the settings dialog of KScreen.

Reproducible: Always

Switching to/from hdmi audio

I wish to add my  vote from a feature to switch the audio to/from hdmi on plugin just like the video performs.

I would appreciate this feature very much.
It would make a perfect combination with Synergy keyboard/mouse sharing service.

I also support this idea. However, my vote is to add an option to a kscreen config file to pass all or specific actions to custom scripts. For example, I would like to have kscreen do nothing and to use arandr (or xrandr) to apply my desired screen layouts.

I don't think this is a feature we want to support, sorry. These things should be supported automatically, without the user having to cobble together a script to do it.
