QTimer doesn't work the expected way

@jsulm said in QTimer doesn't work the expected way:
@MasterBlade Do you actually use threads in your app?
I don't think I did. I don't know why there are so many threads.
@MasterBlade That's normal. I just wanted to know whether you create threads also by yourself. From the stack trace I can't see anything helpful.

There is one problem I found curious. I am also using QSettings to write INI files, and I found it quite slow. Usually takes like 2 secs to write. I didn't use QTimer in that code. So I guess if it's QSettings that caused the block.

@MasterBlade Where are the settings stored? Is it network drive, local drive, Windows registry?

local hard disk in INI format

@MasterBlade It is really strange if it takes so long.

@MasterBlade QSettings is usually super quick,
how big is the resulting ini file ending up ?

Well actually I was storing it in OneDrive folder. Will that take longer?

It can. Try to store it locally and see whether this makes a difference...

I tried to store ini file to a different folder other than OneDrive. It is now much faster. Around 250 ms. Not super fast but somewhat acceptable.
Edit: Saving in Onedrive folder takes about 850 ms -

It's now working super fast! Thank you so much!
