I wonder, is there a hack that would allow for multiple settings under displays. What I mean is, would it be possible to create a program that says "when quicktime is playing a movie or when frontrow is on, the display does not go to sleep" whereas in normal use, you can set the display to sleep after however many minutes. I would like to set my display to sleep if the computer remains inactive for 10 minutes, but then I have to change the setting every time I want to watch a movie so that it does go out in the middle or I have to get up to touch the keyboard often. I haven't found an app that does this yet.
