[Essentials] Question/Suggestion regarding Standby Apps feature
Hello Sameera, hello +all!
First of all, needless to say, your application is awesome!
I recently updated to the last version and I saw your new standby applications feature.
Because of the huge number of applications I'm using on my devices (more than half of them are for work, custom applications made by me or my workplace), I had been looking for a way to actually bulk restrict select applications from running in the background and using background battery and data. I had tried ReAppzuku for that, but since I'm already using Essentials, I'd rather use one app than two :)
Essentially (see what I did there?) what I would like to do is, when I'm using one of those applications, perhaps keep it in memory while being actively used but, when I swipe it away, keep it on a very short leash so it won't be able to run on its own (i.e 0 background usage, 0 network usage unless I'm not actively using it).
However I'm not technically savvy and I'm not exactly sure how I can do that.
I see specific options we are able to select for each application, Active, Working set, Frequent, Rare, and Restricted. I can guess that for what I would like to do setting those applications to "Rare" is the perfect way to go. Since if I set them to "Restricted" the moment I leave the app, it will immediately close down. Can someone verify this? :)
Finally, a suggestion regarding this feature, which I'm not sure if it's easy to implement. Would it be possible to batch select specific restrictions for multiple applications at once? Again my use case is probably extreme but with more than 500 applications on my two devices, it will be a nightmare changing that setting one by one :)
Thank you!
