From 6f6a09cce203dccb493d4d7a8d42ab860444dcc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugo Locurcio Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 00:01:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Decrease the editor FPS limit when unfocused from 20 to 10 This provides better power savings compared to the previous value. This also speeds up project execution slightly while the editor is running in the background. The setting hint can now go as low as 1 FPS (1 million microseconds per frame), for those who really need the best possible power savings. This will make previewing animated shaders or particles impossible when the editor window isn't focused though. --- editor/editor_settings.cpp | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/editor/editor_settings.cpp b/editor/editor_settings.cpp index 4ddae7c0629..d035904a356 100644 --- a/editor/editor_settings.cpp +++ b/editor/editor_settings.cpp @@ -422,8 +422,12 @@ void EditorSettings::_load_defaults(Ref p_extra_config) { _initial_set("interface/editor/dim_editor_on_dialog_popup", true); _initial_set("interface/editor/low_processor_mode_sleep_usec", 6900); // ~144 FPS hints["interface/editor/low_processor_mode_sleep_usec"] = PropertyInfo(Variant::FLOAT, "interface/editor/low_processor_mode_sleep_usec", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "1,100000,1", PROPERTY_USAGE_DEFAULT | PROPERTY_USAGE_RESTART_IF_CHANGED); - _initial_set("interface/editor/unfocused_low_processor_mode_sleep_usec", 50000); // 20 FPS - hints["interface/editor/unfocused_low_processor_mode_sleep_usec"] = PropertyInfo(Variant::FLOAT, "interface/editor/unfocused_low_processor_mode_sleep_usec", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "1,100000,1", PROPERTY_USAGE_DEFAULT | PROPERTY_USAGE_RESTART_IF_CHANGED); + _initial_set("interface/editor/unfocused_low_processor_mode_sleep_usec", 100000); // 10 FPS + // Allow an unfocused FPS limit as low as 1 FPS for those who really need low power usage + // (but don't need to preview particles or shaders while the editor is unfocused). + // With very low FPS limits, the editor can take a small while to become usable after being focused again, + // so this should be used at the user's discretion. + hints["interface/editor/unfocused_low_processor_mode_sleep_usec"] = PropertyInfo(Variant::FLOAT, "interface/editor/unfocused_low_processor_mode_sleep_usec", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "1,1000000,1", PROPERTY_USAGE_DEFAULT | PROPERTY_USAGE_RESTART_IF_CHANGED); _initial_set("interface/editor/separate_distraction_mode", false); _initial_set("interface/editor/automatically_open_screenshots", true); _initial_set("interface/editor/single_window_mode", false);
