Where has the low priority button gone in PTGui 8?
Previous versions of PTGui contained a ‘low priority’ button in the Batch Stitcher. Pressing this button reduced the batch stitcher’s process priority so that the batch stitcher would not slow down the computer too much while running in the background. Due to several changes since PTGui 7.3, often CPU usage is no longer the limiting factor. As a result, reducing the process priority would have no effect, since the computer may still slow down due to heavy disk and memory access. Thus a true low priority mode should limit the batch stitcher’s disk and memory access as well. Therefore we have decided to remove the low priority setting entirely for now; we may come with a better solution in a future version.
