Hello!
My daily routine often requires me to connect my laptop to different
sets of monitors or projectors (often multiple). The problem is, in it's
current state, xfce-display-settings is unable to set their settings
according to my desires automatically, so I have to configure them
manually every time, which may be painful. So, I came up with a
solution.
I designed an addition to current display-settings dialogue, which
allows a user to save current configuration to xfconf as a named
profile. The combobox allows to choose any saved profile, which can be
applied or deleted. This way, a person may have different configurations
saved for his equipment, which can be easily applied without manual
reconfiguration.
Also, I added an "Auto" button to minimal dialogue. This button will try
to guess the profile based on the equipment connected and apply it. I
forked a github repository, and you can review my work here:

Please, tell me, what you think about it. :)
