🎄 Happy holidays, everyone! ☃️ Resources 1.3 has been a long time in the making and brings a number of new and exciting features as well as many bug fixes. Enjoy!

• 🐛 Bug fixes

  • Snap applications were not properly detected and categorized as system processes (#98), this fix requires an additional Flatpak permission (read-only access to /var/lib/snapd/desktop)
  • CPU usage of processes and applications was not calculated correctly
  • Newer AMD GPUs were not properly detected (#99)
  • The counting for multiple GPUs started at 0
  • bash was recognized as an application if there was a detected .desktop file using bash to start the app (#112)
  • “simple-framebuffers” were recognized as GPU
  • Displayed stock speed instead of overclocked speed for RAM using AMD EXPO or Intel XMP (#122)

• ✨ New features

  • GPU usage (including video encoder, video decoder and VRAM usage) is now tracked per-process
  • The amount of datapoints in graphs is now configurable
  • A grid can now be displayed for graphs
  • More statistics for Intel GPUs
  • The info window for applications and processes now shows the launch date

• 📈 Improvements

  • Vastly improved memory usage over time
  • Non-Wireguard VPNs are now recognized as such
  • Memory properties can now be accessed without root privileges
  • Resources needs less time to load after launch
  • Resources’ companion process “resources-processes” is now launched once to run for as long as Resources itself is running, rather than being launched on every refresh
  • Better recognition of Chromium-based applications and their many processes
  • AMD GPUs have a more precise name in the titlebar
  • Processes and applications refresh now as fast as the rest of the UI does
  • The scrollbar doesn’t jump around anymore when scrolling the processes or applications list during a refresh

It might take a while for this update to be on Flathub because it seems like I need to apply for a new exception for Resources in flatpak-builder-lint, sorry for that. :)
