filesystem: avoid blocking
Last modified: 2018-09-24 09:15:46 UTC
The filesystem plugin does a lot of blocking calls in the main thread. These could hamper the responsiveness of the user application's UI. GIO's async methods could be used to fix this issue (they run in a separate thread). This is already done for _search()
Yep, we should do it for other operations too. But at least this works fine in search(), which IMHO is the most critical one (searching means looking throughout the entire filesystem).
