That would be handy, but it does seem that it might only apply in cases of "dirty" disconnects like a software crash. Not being a developer I have no way to tell if the driver is configured to have the choice on if it should turn the cooler off or not in the case of a clean disconnection by whatever application is using the camera.

If you have not been working on native driver support yet I don't imagine you know either at this point? If you can disconnect without turning off the cooling and can reconnect without interrupting the current cooling power then it would be really useful.

An instance I could think of would be if the cam was connected and cooled such as shooting darks or flats but you wanted to change APT from a daytime to night colour scheme without having to warm then cool the camera again, given that action requires a restart of APT.
