The idle timeout does indeed trigger as it should when the charger is disconnected, but my point is that the user should be able to shut down Rockbox while on charge and then disconnect with Rockbox powering off upon disconnect. At present, the user either has to power down manually or waste battery power waiting for Rockbox to idle timeout, and if the idle timeout is set very high or disabled, this will never happen. With most other player firmware, once shut down while on charge, the charging screen appears and the unit powers down completely as soon as the charger is disconnected. This is the advantage of having a charging screen.
