Simple-Video-Converter allows users to queue large batches of video files. This process relies heavily on the CPU/GPU and often runs overnight. A highly requested feature from our community (see GitHub issue #18:[Feat]: Sleep/hibernate/turn off option after queue is finished · Issue #18 · STENS66/Simple-Video-Converter · GitHub) is an option to automatically shut down the workstation once the batch is completed.
We are STRICTLY NOT requesting auto-connection for this plug.
The application operates under 'strict' confinement on core24 and features a graceful fallback UI:
1. It actively checks if the 'shutdown' plug is connected.
2. If not, the UI displays a clear warning and explicitly instructs the user to run `sudo snap connect simple-video-converter:shutdown` in their terminal to opt-in.
3. For user safety, the power-off action triggers a 60-second visual countdown with a "Cancel" button to prevent unexpected shutdowns or data loss.
The reasoning makes sense to me. +1 from me to grant manual-connection of shutdown interface after successful publisher vetting. What do other reviewers think?
Thank you for the detailed request! This is also a +1 from me for granting manual connection of the shutdown interface to the simple-video-converter snap.
shutdown interface is considered super privileged and requires publisher vetting before we can grant this request. Given that the application is closed source, we will need you to complete this process to verify your account in order to make the changes live.
Thank you very much for your reviews and the +1 votes! As an independent developer publishing a closed-source application, I completely understand the need for publisher vetting. I am currently reviewing the ‘Star Developer’ policy and will submit my vetting request shortly. I will link it here once it is posted.
