What’s New:
Version 2.5.1
There is now a “manage” AppleScript command so you can change settings for an app using AppleScript.
App Tamer won’t put up “using too much CPU” notifications for processes that it’s already managing.
When App Tamer shows a notification about an app using too much CPU, clicking on the “Let it continue” button will silence warnings for the next 10 minutes. This length of time can be controlled from Terminal using “defaults write com.stclairsoft.AppTamer notificationMuteTime XXX” where XXX is the number of seconds to silence notifications.
Processes that are hidden by App Tamer’s “Hide when idle” setting will no longer be automatically un-hidden if they were throttled or stopped and are returned to normal CPU usage.
App Tamer’s window pops down from its menu bar icon correctly in full-screen mode even when App Tamer’s icon is set to show in the Dock.
Setting the statistics update interval to “never” will no longer disable App Tamer’s tracking of application idle time for the “Quit when idle” and “Hide when idle” features.
App Tamer will now correctly slow and stop web browsers that are being run with their ownership set to a different user.
Fixed problems with Command-Q being enabled even when App Tamer wasn’t showing its icon in the Dock.
Processes that are run via ‘sudo’ or ‘su’ from the Terminal are now shown correctly in the process list.

What’s New:
Version 2.5
By default, App Tamer will now slow down Microsoft Edge when Edge is running in the background.
Added support for Coherence and other apps that create site-specific browsers based on Google Chrome.
A warning is shown when you slow down Spotlight, as this may adversely affect applications that depend upon Spotlight.
App Tamer’s performance has been greatly improved when apps like Epichrome or shell scripts make frequent, repeated calls to the sleep, kill, and lsof shell commands.
If App Tamer is configured to run in the background (not showing its icon in the Dock), it will ignore Command-Q when its window is open so you don’t accidentally quit it.
Google Chrome apps are now handled correctly. If a Chrome app is configured not to slow down, Chrome will be kept running at full speed so that it can serve as the “engine” for the app without compromising the app’s performance.

Fixed a bug that could result in App Tamer not starting up correctly if you Fast-User-Switch to a different account and then restart your Mac.
Corrected a problem in which certain system processes would not be correctly slowed down after waking from sleep.
