ueli 7 on windows starts many powershell processes

[maku]

When I run ueli 7 on win 10, many powershell processes are started (starts with 1 and then over time processes are added).

This seems very strange....

[oliverschwendener]

Ueli uses powershell to generate the app icons which are stored in ~/.ueli/app-icon-store. Maybe this could be optimized, so that only one powershell process is invoked and no more. If you don't want ueli to execute powershell commands uncheck "Use native icons" in the settings.

Here you can see which powershell commands are executed: https://github.com/oliverschwendener/ueli/blob/933543d5f67a3a5566e9e7b5e57d299e3f33c85c/src/ts/icon-service/windows-app-icon-store.ts#L33-L54

I had ca. 100 running processes... Then I killed ueli... (and reverted back to 6.1.4)

I'll look into this. There should be a way to only use one powershell process. Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, I also noticed this strange thing, but I had not connected the thing to the last update of ueli

[oliverschwendener]

I think I already found a solution... there should be a way to only use one powershell process for generating the icons. Thanks for your feedback! As I said, you don't have to revert back, just disable the feature "use native icons" in the settings.

I tried "use native icons" but then ueli does not show any results. Windows 10, ueli 7.0.0

Created a separate issue for this.

Sorry for the hassle. Very stupid mistake. I forgot to kill the powershell process after generating the native app icons. This is fixed now and I released a new version: https://github.com/oliverschwendener/ueli/releases/v7.0.1

Thank you for feedback guys! 🙌
