is this really necessary and does it warrant a commit to what is pretty much a charging method that has no impact on the system.
The application is only running if an iOS Device is connected to the computer over USB so turning it ON/OFF has no benefit to the user.
i just did this because i did not want to type ipad_charge on the terminal with its options too much. and i think - not sure - USB disk mode does not work when in charge mode. its presence is not harmful anyway. بتاريخ 2013 7 24 22:30، كتبها "Keiran Smith" notifications@github.com:

GUI Frontend for ipad_charge:
In the project/source code folder, the file ipad_charge_gui_frontend.tcl is a Tcl/Tk script. Therefore, you have to install Tcl and Tk to be able to see a window with two buttons. One has [ON](turns the USB charger ON), and the other button has [OFF](turns the USB charger OFF). Please watch the following YouTube video to know how to install Tcl and Tk:

After installing Tcl and Tk, don't forget to set the executable bit/permission on ipad_charge_gui_frontend.tcl using the command running from the same source code folder:
chmod +x ipad_charge_gui_frontend.tcl
to run from the same folder: ./ipad_charge_gui_frontend.tcl
You can can on Classical GNOME Desktop Environment do the same by: 1- Right click the file ipad_charge_gui_frontend.tcl and go to and click [Properties] . 2- Click [Permissions] and then click [Allow executing file as a program]. 3- Press [OK] to save. 4- Double click the file ipad_charge_gui_frontend.tcl and then click [Run]. 5- The frontend now should be displayed.
