Hi, I recently migrated to i3status-rust. Thanks for this awesome tool!
Issue
Running i3status-rust on a laptop with the upower driver, I mistakenly left my laptop on overnight and noted that the battery level was around 5% the next day. This showed a critical color and empty icon/status for the battery module. After plugging in power, I expected to see the plugged-in icon. However, because the battery level was below the empty_threshold, the plugged in icon did not show despite the battery being charged, up until the battery level surpassed the empty_threshold.
Feature request
It would be really good to override the empty battery state once power is plugged in. IMO, the state should change from empty to charging, regardless of the current battery level.
Workaround
In the meantime, I am disabling the empty state altogether by setting empty_threshold = -1.
