Checklist

  • I am using an up-to-date version.
  • I have read the documentation.
  • I have searched existing issues.

TagStudio Version

Alpha 9.6.2 Portable

Operating System & Version

Windows 11, version 25H2

Description

On the latest version of Tagstudio, when you try to change anything in the library that gives the loading window, said loading will be infinite.
So far I've tested

  • Ignored files
  • Unlinked files
  • Refreshing the library after adding a file in the folders library

Might be the same for fixing duplicates.
Files are successfully added to the library after closing up the library and opening it again.
Tags have no issue.

Can't upload the evidence directly in github so I'll add a Youtube link instead.

Expected Behavior

Loading screen must end quickly depending on the amount of files then whatever task I had previously asked will finish.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a library in the version 9.6.2 Alpha (Portable).
  2. Either add a file, unlink one or ignore a type of file.
  3. The bug will naturally happen until the loading window is manually closed.

    Looking into this now, I've been able to reproduce the issue with removing unlinked entries causing an infinite hang, but not adding entries so far. For some reason the database is becoming locked under these circumstances, so I'll check out any changed code that might be having weird interactions with this.
