    Description

      We're using gfxCardStatus (http://gfx.io/) that trows notification that OS is switched to higher-powered discrete GPU when Qt Creator is started. OS is switched back to integrated GPU only after Qt Creator exits.

      The question is: is this switch really required? This will definetely 'eat' more battery.

      PS. We didn't noticed same behaviour with our Qt 5.2.1-based apps for Mac.
