Reset to native res button (and storable monitor setting profiles) #286

Open rvmn opened 3 years ago

rvmn commented 3 years ago

Problem

When working with multiple monitors the settings are remembered and reused automatically. This is a nice feature. What may happen though is that the settings are wrongly set and the undo button becomes unreachable. Now every time you connect the extra screen it restores that setting and there is no way to "reset to default" to get a usable native res screen setting. It's messed up very time you connect the screen.

Proposal

Could a reset button be added (on the top of the screen so it stays reachable) that resets all screens to native res (and side by side expansion setting as that is most used)? And even better: would it be possible to have the monitor profile (which is stored already) be nameable and have a select button to select it. Maybe they could be combined: a select with 'reset to default' as first option.
