Stop windows going to sleep while there is an operation

Hello,

I was writing my Raspberry Pi image to an SDCARD on a USB converter. Since operation takes considerable time, I left computer alone to do it's job.

I forgot that my computer goes to sleep after 5 minutes of idle time.

When I returned back, computer was in sleep. Turned on it and operation was not complete. Moreover, Win32DiskImager ws not responding.

Had to start over from the beginning.

It would be very helpful and fool proof to add a feature to stop computer sleep/hybernate only when there is any kind of operation (read/write/verify) going on.

Thanks & regards,
Ertan
