B4J Question Problem with IDE version 8.80, crashes often!

[johnerikson]

I'm trying to use the latest version of BJ4 8.80. Unfortunately, I can not edit and compile continuously! After a moment of editing, IDE crashes by graying it and changing the cursor to a blue ring and IDE stops. The only way is to cancel IDE and restart again. To work around the problems, I use an older version (B4J 6.51) that works well. The problems arise in a relatively large project (ABMaterial >10 000 lines), in smaller projects there are no problems.
In any case, I use Java 8 because I haven't got Java 11 to manage to start the program

Not sure if related. Try to disable Automatic Backup in Tools > IDE options. It can take a while for very large projects

Try to enable IDE logs and see if there is anything relevant there: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/posts/50478/

Thanks!
If Autobackup is disabled, there will be no interruption. Unfortunately, no log.txt file is created under c:\temp that could give hints about what goes wrong. I guess something happens that Windows reacts to. A message is sent to Microsoft.

In any fall I can work without Autobackup for so long and hope it works when the next version is released!

AutoBackup runs on the main thread. If the project is very large, and especially with large resource files, then it can take a while for it to complete. In that case it is better to disable it.
