Build 37.7 for El Capitan

AppGen

F.lux 37.5 and 37.6 ignore the "Disable for" any of my apps; though it sometimes works on the initial start of the app, but as soon as I switch to another app and back it stops working. Even the "Disable for an hour" doesn't work anymore. In both cases a notification is displayed, saying that it's deactivated, unfortunately it's not. Reinstalling F.lux, restarting of Mac didn't help. Furthermore, the change between active and disabled state of these versions is abrupt. Previous versions had a smooth transition in both directions, activating and inactivating F.lux, now its instantaneous.

System information:
iMac 20" Mid 2007, Mac OS "El Capitan" 10.11.6, ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB

Hey everyone - we posted this build which fixes the disable bug - let us know if it helps?

@herf Seems to be working fine. Thanks a lot.

@herf just found this forum after having all sorts of issues in 37.2 / osx 10.11.6. (flux enabled after quitting app; turning night mode on and off randomly, etc.)

Only been using the 37.7 patch for about 10 minutes but night mode has turned on then back off once already.

Love the app even with the current problems, just wanted to provide more feedback.

@herf Hey, I'm running 37.7 on macOS Sierra with auto brightness adjustment still enabled, and I'm still seeing the weird behavior where when brightness adjustment is triggered, the flux color profile kicks in even when it's daytime..

@malorkus which machine is it?

Hey I have a Macbook pro 13 inch (16 gb ram, i7) and there is an issue with the lighter colors namely when watching youtube videos.
If I move the mouse to make the screen react, the colors will go back to the right tones, however when the time marking and stuff goes away the color goes stupid, for clear tones.
My software is up to date
All of that bluea is poorly rendered white.

I'm having this issue still. El Capitan, 37.7, automatic brightness enabled. It keeps flipping back to a late evening one all morning, even after I quit flux.

It didn't seem to have made a flux color profile, just standard LCD.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nfrsc2asli2fphj/Screenshot 2016-10-09 09.56.20.png?dl=0 for my system details.

I think another contributing factor is I always have the monitor not on full brightness, normally just a couple up from the bottom. 4 blocks up from the bottom.

Had a crash this morning. Machine was up, I could SSH to it, but the screen was dark and flickering. Rebooted and checked the system.log. This may be a GPU failure issue, but I figured I would throw this in for those with similar errors and a LOT of Flux messages, but the more I dug the more it seemed like the issue was my GPU and not Flux.

I've now updated my NVIDIA card with their drivers, maybe it is a GPU issue and not a Flux issue. Wait and see FTW!
