Hello. I want to propose to add a setting with would allow to ignore USB sevices with given ID, that they won't trigger the app when suddenly it get plugged off.
Examples (on me):
I have my phone connected to the computer thru USB and it seem that the cable (from the side) has a loosen fit with the socket, with causes that a light move of the phone causes that the system treat it as disconnection. I wouldn't be wanting that this would cause my computer to suddenly turn off thru such thing.
