Before opening the issue, have you...?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Having used different brightness settings, this is what I use every day:
During the day: integrated LCD at 100%, external monitor at 50%
During the night: integrated LCD at 50%, external monitor at 0%
Instead of manually moving two sliders every few hours, I would like being able to create and quickly switch to simple presets.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to create presets for the current brightness configuration. Basically a button that saves the current brightness configuration and allows me to give it a custom name, for example "DAY" or "NIGHT". Then a menu option to quickly switch to those presents from the popup. That way I can simply click on "DAY" or "NIGHT" every day when I want (I'm not interested in anything that automates this, I really prefer to switch manually but in a click).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Haven't found alternative software that does this, just presets that are too fancy or depend on apps opened, day or time or things I'm not interested. Feels like simple and dumb manual monitor presets are a good fit for MonitorControl which is quite minimalistic.
Anything else?
I can imagine a good place for this feature would be an extra "Presets" tab on the Preferences window, where current presets are listed in a simple list view with a + and - buttons. With + you can create a new one from the current config, and with - you can delete Presets you don't want anymore. No need to being able to edit them, you can simply choose a current present from the popup and create a new one based on that from the Presets tab. It could be limited to 4 presets for example so that the popup menu is never too big, because that's were you should be able to select the presets you want to apply, so that it's very quick to do.
Let me know if I can help in any way!
