Feature Request: Create saved global profiles that can be switched via hotkey

[theskipster]

I would love to be able to set a global profile that saves all of the settings that I can then recall later using a hotkey.

My use case is as follows:
I have 2 laptops that share the same monitor as part of a larger set of monitors that are not shared. I activate the display on whichever mac I wish to use it for, and deactivate it on the one that I no longer need it. I also, depending on what I am using it for (such as a game or work), switch the resolution of the display.

It would be great if I can setup some global profiles that will save the current state of all the displays and settings, then, using the menu or a hotkey, restore those settings and apply them.

Yes, I am planning to add such presets. This request might overlap some other issues, but will sort it out when I get to implement these features. It's on my to-do list.

Thank you waydabbler for the program and the insight on future direction. My use case for saved presets s switching between different application sets / work flows. For example, video editing / movie watching I want certain image adjustments to get better gamma response, but need to remove the adjustments for graphics design work. The global profiles/presets would solve this request.

Yes, this is in the pipeline. Since global presets need to work with multiple displays, finishing all display group related features (primarily the upcoming layout related features) is required for this - this is what I am working in the current v2.3.x release cycle.

Presets are something I absolutely want to do want to extend them to cover all (useful) settings in the app.
