Request for control over autosave frequency

[mattsteven]

I keep notes in folders which are syncronized with owncloud. It appears that Zim engages in near-constant autosave, which causes a flurry of network requests, sometimes resulting in significant errors and unwanted load.b

There are certainly ways to mitigate this, such as disabling sync, but I would prefer a configuration setting for "autosave frequency" which would allow me to limit the number of disk writes to as few as perhaps one per minute so that I don't have to either work outside of sync'd folders or shut off my system altogether (and forget to turn it back on to sync, losing access to recent changes)

There is a hidden option to control the autosave frequency (see the manual for details). However what can't be controlled is that pages are stored as well when switching pages etc.
