Disable when locked

Thanks for this excellent tool! I noticed that Jiggler is also active when the machine is locked. It would be nice to add an option to pause jiggler while this is the case.

What exactly do you mean by "locked"?

I'm not sure when this feature was introduced, but it's possible to lock a Mac via the Apple menu, with a keyboard shortcut and using the TouchBar. It brings up the lock screen and requires a password:

In such cases, I'd prefer that Jiggler does not keep the machine awake (configurably, of course).

Ah, got it. Well, I don't update Jiggler often nowadays, but if/when I do, this seems like a good request. I'm not sure it would even need to have a prefs option; perhaps it would just make sense never to jiggle when the screen has been locked by the user, what do you think? Anyway, thanks.

This is fixed in Jiggler 1.8, just released.
