Since a few days (maybe since the update to Big Sur 11.5?) I have massive problems when displaying any BTT window (configuration, or floating WebView). The processes:
run on 100% CPU. Partially BTT freezes.
I have (clear) reinstalled BTT completely, restored the presets from backup, etc. After that it works for a while. If the problem occurs, it only helps to restart BTT. There is nothing to see in the log.
It seems as if BTT wants to display a Touch Bar, although according to the settings it should not be the case, as I have only made app-specific settings and BTT is the active app.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet, but this might lead me to the right direction.
Your first sample didn't contain anything unusual, which is quite weird. It might have been a "unlucky" sample, so if you run into this again, it would be great if you could send one or two more samples.
// edit: nevermind, I just saw you already send another sample!
Hi @Andreas_Hegenberg,
I'm also having the high CPU issue. I've discovered that it is with the preset I built myself. But I don't know what is the cause of it. I tried:
fresh reinstallation of BTT and reimport the preset.
create a new preset and copy the triggers/actions from the old one.
The 1st does not solve the problem.
The 2nd, when I copy triggers/actions for a few apps, it seems to be fine, but as I copy more, CPU usage starts to climbing up...
Not sure if it is related, I have AquaTouch. I created some of my own after AquaTouch, and these newly created are saved to the old default preset.
What's odd now is this:
Before, when I deactivate AquaTouch and use only the old default preset, the apps and the custom groups where I had triggers/actions will show up in the left column of BTT editor.
Now, after I copy triggers/actions over from the old preset to the newly created preset, if I deactivate the old preset, BTT shows nothing in the left column. When I add the apps to it, all triggers/actions will show up. In other words, I have to readding all the apps and creating groups from here:
Another thing I just noticed today:
After I copy a few sets of triggers/actions from the old preset to the newly created one, BTT starts to demanding higher CPU, like 65%. This happens even the old preset has been deactivated. However, when I activate AquaTouch, CPU usage immediately drops to normal level. Apparently something is going on here.
Maybe you already have an idea about what's going on. I'd also be happy to send you the presets for debugging.
Unfortunately the issue is deep within macOS, so I needed to create a pretty complex workaround. It already works pretty good in my tests, but there might still be some issues which I'll fix in the coming days.
I just downloaded the latest alpha because I was experiencing extreme (unusable) UI slow downs when using the configuration tool to create new Touch Bar buttons with actions etc.
So far this seems to have solved the slow downs I was experiencing.
I'm on an M1 Mac.
