Thanks for taking the time, John. I did try turning off grid animation but, as you expected, it doesn't fix it. I understand fixing this would be too complicated to bother seeing that this affects only a relatively small user base.

I will continue using Dropzone anyway, I will just disable it when the computer runs on battery.

It's version 2.8.5 Build 754, non-MAS version. Same behavior with the previous version. I'm a new Dropzone user, so the current and the last version are the only two I have used and can provide information about.

OS is 10.9.1 build 13B42, my machine is a mid-2010 i5 MacBook Pro, the discrete graphics adapter is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.

Darn - I was pretty sure this was fixed.

How do you know it's Dropzone causing the discrete graphics to get switched on? Could it be another app?

Unfortunately not, gfxCardStatus reveals it's DropZone. Quitting/relaunching DropZone causes immediate switching between graphics chips, so I'm afraid there's no doubt  sad

DropZone forces switching to NVIDIA graphics

Hello,

I am a new DropZone user. I noticed that as long as DropZone runs in the background, it uses the discrete graphics chip of my MBP. It's one of the mid-2010 units which are notorious for that.

I saw in one of your blog entries that you fixed the same problem in a previous version of DropZone. So I just want to bring to your attention that the bug seems to exist again in the hope that you find the time to fix it smile

Thanks for an otherwise great application.

Best,
Ralph
