            Bug ID: 45626
           Summary: enabling macOS eGPU settings
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winemac.drv
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

      Distribution: ---

With continuous development of macOS since adding official eGPU support since
some time. Since some versions it's unofficially possible to accelerate
applications running on an iMac's or MacBook Pro's internal display using a
bash command. However soon there will be official support from apple with GUI
integration enabled by selection the option to prefer external GPUs in the
programs information dialog within the macOS Finder. If this is selected for
the Wine or "Wine Staging.app" it is not respect however as the option does not
seem do be passed to the MacDriver as it seems. It would be an great addition
especially for games and some cad or other pro software. It could also be an
useful option for winecfg where it might even be selectable on an per windows
application basis. Though the overall respectation of this macOS feature is my
main concern.
