Hello fellows,
and thank you for making the most necessary of all MacOS applications, Microsoft Remote Desktop :)
I use it every day a lot with my MBA M1, calling my Intel NUC / Win 10 Pro host.
I'm interested in saving battery power. MRD is not very power-hungry - but, it hogs power ALL the time, which i think is unnecessary.
So, my idea comes here:
Please make MRD "power nap" -aware, to save battery power. Many MacOS apps go to power nap when they are just idling without anything to do. Power nap -state can be observed in MacOS Activity Monitor.
I think there are two situations at when MRD should go to power nap:
1) When it is not (yet) connected to any host, presenting the Connection Center (or without any window open).
2) When it is in "Do you want to reconnect?" -state.
