I think this is what happens: when users have autosave and backups on, Task Coach may have generated many backup files. Some user reported having about a 1000 backup files. Starting with release 0.78, Task Coach tries to limit the number of backup files by removing backup files that are close together in time. For example, in this situation: oldest-1-----2----3-4-5---------6-newest Task Coach will first remove backup number 4 if there are too many backups. I guess this process is very slow when there are many backups. So the work-around is to manually remove all (most) backup files. I'll try to do some tests later. Thanks, Frank
