indicate when the battery is charging about solaar

[pwr]

This should also be indicated by the battery icon in the interface; most icon themes have a "charging" version for each icon of battery-level. However, the icon names are terribly inconsistent across themes.

Battery icons are not very consistent either. On my Arch Linux installation, find -name battery* | sed -r 's,[0-9]+x[0-9]+|scalable,,' | sort -u:

Just to document what happens with my Performance MX when charging it:

Before inserting the USB plug:

After inserting the plug:

So it seems solaar doesn't recognize the device is charging at all.
Is this known behavior or should I open a new issue for this one?

[pwr]

Definetly new issue. I'd rather keep this issue open for the general feature.

@terwarf Please run with -dd and watch the activity for register 07. I assumed that the second byte is 0x25 when charging, but this appears to be an invalid assumption. Can you continue posting the results on #49?
