Additional information
Add any other context about the problem here.
It's not really a bug, the problem is that currently, the file transfer actions are blocking since everything runs on the same thread.
I've been thinking about refactoring the UI for a long time and putting the file transfer on another thread as a Service, but this would require a huge refactoring and a lot of time, which I'm not going to invest at the moment.
The only thing you can do is to avoid long-time execution searches.
