Can't automatically save current page

Bug Description

Save seems to be done automatically. Sometimes while I'm typing, it seems that the current page cannot be saved and I'm advised to save a copy.

I think that might be because I'm keeping my notebook in a OneDrive folder so it be backed up daily [in case something breaks and I''ll need my things if needed to install zim from scratch]

It would've been great if I could attach a screenshot - pic substitutes a million words

Zim 0.63
Windows 10
I tried to use that command in a terminal but something went wrong and couldn't provide any extra info

C:\Windows\System32>zim -D
'zim' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Can you include the exact error message? Would be very helpful to know what is the reason why save failed - does the error say the file is not writable, or something else ?

This "smells" of the same issue as bug #804936 - there is a "hot patch" there that might be useful in your case as well.

P.S.> To run zim with "-D" you'll need to know where zim is installed and call the executable.

To continue you can save a copy of this page or discard
any changes. If you save a copy changes will be also
discarded, but you can restore the copy later.
