Re: Timer issue?

Hi Jean-Luc,

did you try to set the timer period to a considerably longer interval?

just to understand if in the 10 milliseconds (that’s really a short interval maybe also for a computer), the timer event is fired again before completing its tasks, including set itself to off…

you could try maybe a quarter of second, that anyway is nothing if you are handling a series of files sequentially

just a guess,
