[Interest] Need some help tracking down an issue

[Scott Bloom]

This is PART of the problem… I was able to fix it.

Basically, as a duplicate is found, the UI creates a QStandardItem for the model.  The first column if its an image file, will show an icon.

The creating of the QIcon itself was causing a gui lock up ☹  Because Qt uses the global threadpool to convert the files data into a qimage.

I was able to fix that by pushing the icon loading to later, but Ill likely use a different threadpool for my side.

But, while its loading and computing, the UI is getting updated, however its not responding to any clicks at all.

Hey!

It’s likely similar to the issue seen here:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-109511

Qt itself may use the global thread pool for certain parallelization, so if the
global thread-pool is fully occupied without letting any new tasks run
then you may experience some hanging.

I have an opensource project that is Qt based, to find duplicate files.  It started as a learning experience for working with thread pools.

Its pretty much 100% functional, however, I have issues where the GUI is non-responsive to user activity.

If anyone has the time, and willingness to do a code review with me, please let me know.  You can see the project at http://github.com/towel42-com/FindDupe

Thanks in advance,

Scott
