Power Drain on m1 Mac laptop

[WhipCrackJack]

Hello,

I am running Inky - Inky version: 0.15.1 ink version: 1.2.0 inkjs version: 2.2.3 - on my M1 Mac laptop and it is draining my battery really fast. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I am seeing this too. As soon as I work with a saved file the renderer will use a lot for CPU. Therefore I think these issues are still relevant: #63, #239

If it is not too difficult to build inky, I'll look into that issue.

I built inky on MacOS 15.2 and the resulting Inky.app does not have the issue. The build did not work with the source as-is.

1. I had to move "appdmg": "^0.6.6" to devDependencies in package.json
2. I had to run npm update or it would not build

cd app
hx package.json #move appdmg
npm update
cd ..
sh BUILD_FOR_MAC.command

console.log(process.versions.electron);
30.5.1

I uploaded Inky.app here https://1042.ch/Inky.zip

Please note:

1. I do not know if it will run on another machine, because I cannot sign the code
2. It is built from master, not tested much (it runs my work), it is not official!

I built it on my machine - with a lot of help from AI to walk me through it - and it doesn't have the problem now. But I would rather not roll my own software. Hopefully the next release won't have this bug.
