The code is designed to do it for ExpTime<5sec (because saving to disk takes time and bad things can happen), but it doesn't succeed in doing it. I suspect that this happens because deep inside (in QHYccd) the images are imported by the timer-callback collectLiveExposure(). When that is launched as a callback, it copies an instance of the class which contains SaveToDisk=true, even if takeExposure() set it to false. Speculation.
