anki freezes when selecting dictionaries

[KonstantinDjairo]

Env.:

• OS: Linux
• Anki Version 2.1.66

Describe the bug anki freezes entirely, when i try to select the dictionary folder the log says:

Qt warning: QLayout::addChildLayout: layout QGridLayout "" already has a parent

furthermore, anki freezes even when you just click in the add-on button itself

• go to tools -> add-ons -> click in fastwordquery-qt6 then everything freezes and i can only close with the kill command in terminal

Expected behavior it should let me select the dictionary folder without freezing

After adding the dictionary, the dictionary will be indexed immediately and the db file will be generated. This process occupies the GUI thread. If the dictionary file is large, it will cause the UI to freeze.

In fact, this does not affect the final use, you can just wait or force exit.

I will try to separate the thread later, but it will not be solved quickly. I am not familiar with the code of the mdx dictionary part, and the calling method of this part of the code are also weird.

i see, it'd be nice to have a bar indicating the progress of the import process, or a warning telling the uset that something is being processed
