Enable efficiency mode to reduce battery usage

Open WhitespaceQ opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I noticed a small but measurable increase in power usage when not plugged-in after using Flow Launcher for a few weeks or so. Manually setting "Efficiency mode" to the flow launcher executable in Task Manager solves this.

Describe the solution you'd like

For Flow Launcher to automatically set itself on efficiency mode on start up.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually set Flow Launcher to efficiency mode every restart.

Will setting flow to efficiency mode make it slower?

@taooceros I haven't noticed any performance degradation, opening via hotkeys is instantaneous as usual. This is after days of uptime and multiple sleep/wake cycle.
