I bought it but it triggers the discrete video card in my 2010 MBP whenever I view a change. That makes it impossible to keep running or it will drain my battery twice as fast.
I do like the single view but it really needs to have the timeline.
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoIn my experience with other apps, I think the GPU behavior is an artifact of Core Animation (I definitely recall seeing this in Sparrow, at least). Bit weird that OSX would default to breaking out the GPU for the smallest UI effects, especially because of the effect on battery life.
- jcoby 15y agoYeah, and it's annoying that the discrete switch is kept until the app shuts down. I have no clue what Gitbox is doing on the change set viewer to trigger the switch. I didn't see any animations. Chrome also triggers the discrete GPU so I can't use it either. I'd really like to because of Safari's problems with the debug tools. I don't want to get used to Chrome when I can only realistically use it when on power.
