[Feature Request] Change the default priority of spawned tools

Open maxpiva opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Basically, a combo box that permits setting the default priority of the spawned programs by Fastflix.

IE: Realtime, High, Above Normal, Normal, Below Normal, Low.

My primary, use case, is, on long encoding sessions, to get the computer more responsive, or if you use background services, prioritize that. So instead of normal, probably spawn FFmpeg with Below Normal Priority.

I do believe that FF shold run in "administrator mode" to change its priority settings.

...an "elevate" button (like FastCopy has) could be needed too, then.

Anyway we're treferring to the Windows version ONLY...

This should be possible cross platform with the toolset I am currently using, adding link for myself for later https://psutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html?highlight=priority#psutil.Process.nice

New "Priority" drop down in the Queue panel with 5.0.0!
