Shows up as "Consuming significant energy"

Open wanderingstan opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

After taking a webcam picture, LifeSlice is listed as "Using Significant Energy" in the menu under the battery.

This issue also happens with ImageSnap, which is the code used. I recently updated to ImageSnapMavericks, which uses the latest AVFoundation methods, but the problem remains.

It does not appear that LifeSlice actually uses more energy, just something about opening the camera even once that marks it as such.

Latest theory is that this is caused by calling external command /usr/bin/sips, or /usr/sbin/screencapture. (Leftovers from the cronjob beginnings.)
