Hello. I would like to request multithreading. It can be useful in a bunch of use cases:
1. An operation on the image is requested but the GUI is frozen because it runs in the same thread as the operation on the image. Now other parts of the program are not accessible.
2. While saving an image the GUI is frozen too, it's not possible to already perform the next operation on the image while the old result is saved.
3. When performing batch convert (gui is frozen again) it could be more efficient to use cpu cores when threads are ran on different cores.
About saving specifically it would be very cool if i can edit multiple images. At once with the same effect. Or seperately doing something to each image. And then afterwards save all images at once.
As i workaround i open multiple processes of irfanview. But this is more cumbersome because then i can accidently open the same image twice, unaware that irfanview is still working on it. And after saving is done i have to manually go back to close the irfanview process.
I also noticed a weird issue when having opened a lot of irfanview processes which are doing something that new processes start to complain they can not allocate more memory. But i was only using 10 GB of 16 GB in my system.
