QML Timer and Loader

[Mark81]

Qt5.7.0, QtQuick2.0, simple QML page with a Loader:

Item {

    Loader { 
        id: pageLoader 
        asynchronous: true
    }

    Component.onCompleted {
        pageLoader.source = "Page1.qml"
    }
}

Page1.qml contains a Timer:

Timer {
        interval: 1000
        repeat: true
        running: true
        triggeredOnStart: true
        onTriggered: console.debug(".")
    }

But when I load the page inside the Loader the Timer won't fire.
What am I missing here?

Hi! I'm not 100% sure but I think the problem is that, using an asynchronous Loader, the Timer is created and started on a different thread but this thread has no event loop.

@Mark81 The example works. Is there anything else that is missing ?
