Bug Description
While writing metadata to a background thread, the main thread will become unresponsive, apparently because the Python GIL hasn't been released. This makes python GUI apps unresponsive during batch metadata writes.
you can see this behavior in phraymd: https:/

this also appears to affect reading of metadata too. The phraymd gui becomes sluggish and unresponsive when reading meetadata from PTP cameras.
