Hidden BusyIndicator still running in the background, How stop it completely (Qt 6.5)

majorRonk

        BusyIndicator {
           id: busyIndicator

           width: 120
           height: 120

           anchors.horizontalCenter: rootImage.horizontalCenter
           anchors.top: rootImage.top
           anchors.topMargin: 70

           visible: root.visible
        }

I try to set visible and/or running of the BusyIndicator to false but somehow its still running in the background and using a lot of cpu although its hidden.

Problem disappears when i manually minimize and maximize the app window.

I found an old thread and a bugfix with similar problem. But the customized BusyIndicator didnt fix the problem for me.

Is there any solution for Qt 6.5?

Other question:
Is it possible to access the animator property inside of the BusyIndicator and f.e. stop it ? (i guess its a RotationAnimator)

BusyIndicator should have a "running" property. Set that to false

@majorRonk it still runs because BusyIndicator is running by default.
so just use
running: false
visible: false
