Summary	0000329: About every 30 seconds, the software would freeze temporarily, then resume functioning.
Description	I have been using QElectroTech for many years and find it a very powerful tool. However, as my project files grew in size, I began to encounter a problem: approximately every 30 seconds, the software would freeze temporarily, then resume functioning. After some testing, I identified the cause of the problem in the automatic backup system, specifically in the XML conversion phase (QETProject::writeBackup()). To resolve this, I recompiled the program, changing the value of the BACKUP_INTERVAL variable from 2 minutes to 200 minutes. This way, the problem no longer occurs, and I can also manage large projects, including A0 format sheets. I would like to know if there is an alternative solution to this modification, perhaps configurable directly from the interface or through a settings file, without having to recompile the software each time.

scorpio810_mantis 2025-08-17 08:58 administrator ~0000815	A0 format!!! wow if possible to see your project?

scorpio810_mantis 2025-08-17 09:26 administrator ~0000816	That's it, you no longer need to compile the programme yourself, just install the latest version 0.100 from the website. Best regards, Laurent

I think 200 minutes was so long for all users. Maybe use an Qprocess for KautoSaveFile or use an spinbox for user change timer depending on type of project.
