Application freezes and needs to be force closed when adding multiple boards #12

Issue:

Gchan will freeze, become unresponsive and stop downloading and will need to be manually closed using task manager when adding multiple boards from 4Chan. Next launch will carry over settings if "Save URLs on exit" is enable resulting in clearing files to fix temporarily.

Steps to reproduce

Add board eg. /w/. Will work and start scraping. Add second board eg. /wg/, Gchan will freeze, not respond to any further commands resulting it to be force closed manually with task manager. Gchan will further not open if the "Save URLs on exit" is enabled

Fix

Delete "boards.dat" and "threads.dat" from ProgramData Folder. Will restore normal use till next attempt to add multiple boards

Issue not reproduceable on Windows 11. Lags a bit but I think Microsoft fixed whatever was happening with it. Dunno how. Request closing issue
