      I’m currently working on a complete rewrite of the way Choosy displays prompts and dropping CoreAnimation which should resolve this issue.

      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?
