    Description

      When launching an app created with Qt 5.9.1, using QtQuick or QtQuick Controls 2, the mac switches to the more energy consuming GPU.

      I have tried editing the info.plist. While this fixed Autoswitching on a "Qt widget" app, it didn't fix the QtQuick apps.

       

      I.e. Setting "NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching = YES" doesn't help.

       

      Tested on: 2011 Macbook Pro. I do not know if other MacBooks behave similarly.
