To change it would mean overwriting whatever wake up time you currently have chosen. Then what happens if you create two actions that run at different times that both want to wake up the system? Then what happens if you go back into the system preferences and select a new wake up time? Basically, I'm not a fan of applications that start changing system-wide preferences.
You will know far more about this than me, but why is it then that other apps (Synk?) seem to have no difficulty in adding multiple power events without interfering with the existing Energy Saver schedule setting?
I run a nightly clone with SuperDuper, as well as a variety of QRecall actions, and it seems a little klunky to have to use another app like iBeezz or Power Manager to set up a list of wake times to synchronize with the QRecall events. If it is a question of limited coding time I could understand that, but an objection in principle baffles me a bit.
Thanks, Nick
