[BUG] Crashes after a while when uploading large amount of files #208
Description
Describe the bug
I am uploading a very large amount of files (hundres of thousands tiny files) and after a while (15-30 min) the window stops responding and most of the times crashes after a while after that.
the sync progress is not stopped but the window not being usable after a while is annoying since when you interact with it while not responding it will try to force close and i also cant turn off my pc without force killing both the python3 and onedrive process
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open OneDriveGUI by ...
- Start sync
- Upload very large amount of files
...
Expected behavior
it should just upload all files without crashing
Screenshots
Log
If applicable, add relevant output from log file /tmp/onedrive-gui/onedrive-gui.log.

Can you please share how many files are in your sync dir? Also how many new files do you need to sync on daily bases?

Ok, I never tested it past the recommended maximum of 300.000 .
The GUI probably becomes unresponsive when the number of items in the list is too huge. I never had a reason to limit this, but it looks like I will have to.
I'm not sure when I'll get time for new GUI release. For now I'd recommend you to complete the full sync using the CLI, or just keep the GUI hidden. Once all is in sync, you should not hit this issue on daily bases anymore.

+1 to this. I had the same issue while syncing a local 126 GB folder with 118K files and 500 sub-folders (reported by Dolphin on Kubuntu 23.04). Although in my case the window responded after a long wait after interacting with it. It usually freezed after minimizing or sending to tray and restoring.

I also noticed the app becomes slow to navigate when there are many entries in the GUI list of synced files.
A solution could be that the list is a circular buffer, i.e. passing a certain amount of elements a new insertion deletes the oldest one.
