Toast 14 Pauses When In Background...

[WakkoWarner]

Why on earth does this version of Toast basically pause when it is behind other program windows?? All the previous versions never did this. It is an incredibly stupid thing for it to be doing. I need it to burn in the background while I am doing other things.

 

If anyone knows how to make it stop doing this (I have checked through all the preferences and can find nothing even remotely related to this problem), your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I will give that a try. However, that is one feature that should be completely disabled by default on a desktop installation.

Do a Get Info on the application icon. Set the Prevent App Nap checkbox (in the General section). This App Nap feature was introduced with OS X 10.9 Mavericks (2013/10), for energy saving purposes, effective on hidden/obscured apps (no visible windows, no audio). As a side effect, it may disrupt processes that you may want to continue in the background. Hence the option to override the setting if needed.
