For the long compiling times – the problem was that any operation requiring a compile remained stuck for a looong time after the message
Waiting for 'git status' command to complete
I wasn’t using source control. Once I connected my project to a proper Git repository, the problem went away. However, I do still have one question – how can I disable Git checks completely, in order to avoid those waiting times in case for whatever reason I don’t want to use source control? (This thread talks about a possible solution, however I can’t find the BuildConfiguration.xml file… please lmk if you know where to find it!)
Cheers
