It’s a minor optimization. You probably won’t notice it on the CPU % meter.
Ah, ok.

The “New Project” and “Load Device Setup” submenus only appear when you have saved at least one project template. How can I make this more obvious? Should I add empty submenus and grey them out to indicate that there are no templates?
Yes please! In the absence of more up to date written material (although P2 is not out yet, and I know it’s hard work updating it all) I would say yes. 🙂
If you grey out the submenus that at least shows the commands are there. As a regular user of Podium I gussed there was a likely ‘trigger’ but still got lost. Someone using the demo for instance would very likely *not* guess the appearance of those sub menus depends on at least one saved project template.
If possible maybe an info line (as you have done with many of the commands in Podium) could be added so that when a users cursor is over the command they can see the info /message line giving a short description of it. In this case it could be “Loads devices once a project template is saved”.
It depends on the plugin. When you drag a knob/slider on a plugin editor, it’s the plugins responsibility to periodically provide the host with idle calls so that the host can update its UI. Some plugins may fail to do this, and thus the host animations appears to stop until you release the mouse button. It has nothing to do with the graphics card.
Thanks for the clarification on that. Sacha to be fair updated his plugs (sort of) as commercial plugs, which appear to work very well in Podium. AM suite e.t.c. 8)
