Shut Down/Hibernate When Ready

[Sam Illingworth]

When I finish a game I tell my computer to hibernate (through Steam's Big Picture mode). Sometimes this means saves aren't uploaded, and of course it stops downloads.

It would be useful to have the option of selecting "Hibernate when Ready", which would hibernate the PC once saves are synced and any active or scheduled downloads are completed.

Or you could simply close the game and the pc would go into hybernate when it will be ready for it.

Thanks CJ but that's not a great solution. For one thing it means waiting for a timer even when Steam's not doing anything. For another it will kick in when you don't want it to, as it's a system setting. For a third, I believe Windows provides a Sleep and a Hibernate option after a certain time, not aware of a power off one (haven't checked though). Also, are you sure Steam's game downloads prevent auto sleep/hibernate?
