Gwenview freezes while opening a picture

SUMMARY
Opening files in large folders on HDD freeze Gwenview. It seems that it's also processing other files in that folder and locks itself while doing so. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open picture in large (>1 GiB) folder on HDD

OBSERVED RESULT
Gwenview will freeze until it processes ALL files in that folder.

EXPECTED RESULT
I just want to view a single file.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.10.8-2-cachyos (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Would be great if Gwenview would process another files in parallel without locking its GUI.
