new version not playing any sound when lock-switch is held while sliding kbd open:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# file: /etc/dbus-scripts-scripts/playswoosh
# chmod +x
stored=/tmp/slidestore;
slide=$(cat sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state);
if [ X$slide == X$(cat $stored) ]; then exit 0; fi;
if [ $slide == open -a $(cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/kb_lock/state) == open ]; then /usr/bin/play-sound /usr/share/sounds/ui-charging_started.wav; fi;
echo -n $slide >$stored

for the screen locking on closing kbd slider you may want to add the "else" lines from above

I'm planning to change lock-switch hold to not immediately unlock screen, but instead slowly ramp up screen brightness from zero until you release the switch. Also on long "press" of lock-switch activate profile: silent.

Usecase: e.g. in cinema you want to "unlock" smoothly to a somewhat more discreet operation mode - so you press&hold the lockswitch, slide open kbd (no sound thanks to above little tweak), and watch the screen come up slowly in brightness until you just see enough and release the lock-switch.
Well, this is maybe just a bit OT in this thread, but anyway.
