  is there any further progression on this issue? It's been over a year.

  Brilliant James, thank you. I've spent days reading around this, but I'd not come across that particular information. Update coming very soon.

  Hi All,

  I found a fix for the issue.
  http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa1734/_index.html

  Editing the Info.plist which is in:
  /Users/james/Library/PreferencePanes/Choosy.prefPane/Contents/Resources/Choosy.app/Contents

  Then add in NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching value to true either using VIM or Xcode.
  Restart the Choosy process and voila, no more switching graphics.

  Now I don't have to kill Choosy everytime I need a bit more battery life! :)

  Hopefully the developer, George can make this change for everyone in the app.

  Thanks,
  /James

  Really looking forward to having this completed. It's the only app which drinks my battery juice.

  How long before we get an update?

  This suggestion is a year old, and it really bugs me! I absolutely love Choosy, but I'm finding myself just not using it because I don't want to switch to the discrete graphics card. Please fix it!

  What is the status of this feature? It is a big heat issue having the discrete graphics on all the time, even when nothing is really running, because choosy was invoked once upon a time.

  I love Choosy and use it all the time. I am considering turing it off due to this issue - it means that if I click a link that invokes Choosy the discrete graphics card is triggered and never reverts back to integrated graphics.

  Thanks for your work - I love the product but I cannot continue to use it unless this is resolved. Hope it's an easy fix.

  Oh, that suggestion was from me, before I logged in. Sorry for the double vote.
