Autosave autosaved every 10+ secs instead of the amount set in the prefs #1299

I save my images a PNG, I set it to autosave 6 mins, it seems like it saves much more frequently than that.

This is fixed already in the latest continuous release.

To expand on this a bit: the autosave implementation is kinda bad, there's an open issue #1065 to actually make it work properly.

Currently, you're better off using File → Record. That's much lighter on resource usage and will record every action continually, not just save in fixed intervals. When you play back the recording, you can also stop it at any point along the way, so it even lets you go back in time in case you accidentally deleted something or whatever.
