Good afternoon, thanks for the app, it works, but I donāt understand how to set rules for processes.
Good evening,
Thank you so much for downloading the app and for your kind feedback! Iām happy to hear itās working for you.
Thatās an excellent question. You can set specific rules for processes by directly editing the settings.json file. Hereās how you can do it:
āļø How to Customize Process Rules
- In the appās main window, click the āOpen Config Folderā button.
- From there, open the ādataā folder.
- Inside, youāll find the
settings.json file. You can open this with any text editor (like Notepad).
Inside this file, you can fully customize the appās behavior. For process rules, youāll want to look at two specific sections:
"ignored_processes": Any process name you add to this list (like "svchost.exe") will be ignored when the app calculates the total CPU load. This is useful for system background tasks that you donāt want to trigger profile changes."manual_processes": This is where you can lock a specific program to a specific profile. Whenever the app sees this process running, it will automatically switch to (and stay on) the profile you define.
Here is an example of what those sections look like in the file:
"ignored_processes": [
"svchost.exe",
"MsMpEng.exe",
"SearchIndexer.exe"
],
"manual_processes": {
"LM Studio.exe": "performance",
"my-game.exe": "ultra"
}
In this example, LM Studio.exe would always be locked to the āperformanceā profile. Just add the process names (usually itās the .exe names) and profiles you want, then save the file. Then in the main app windows click āReload configā. Thatās it.
š Extra Tip: Pre-made Profiles
Since youāre customizing things, you might also be interested in this:
In the main config folder, there is an āassetsā folder. Inside, youāll find a pre-made profile file for the GTR9.
If youād like to use it, just copy that file and paste it into your ādataā folder, overwriting the existing profiles.json file.
I hope this helps you get everything set up exactly how you want it! Please let me know if you have any more questions.
