Hello,
ReplyDeleteI like this add-on and it works fine. Unfortunately the time is too long (one minute to wait). for larger files and interruptions that occur often is too much to wait. How can I edit the time to set it let's say to 1 second?
Thank you,
Liviu
I understand your point. Unfortunately, the one-minute wait is a fixed one.
DeleteWe can expect the developer will add a method to change the default time in the next update.
