Instead of trying to make the GUI multithreaded, wouldn't it be a bit simpler to add a callback to display the progress during bulk writes, which is where it would freeze most of the time? So you could display a progressbar showing [[[ xyz bytes transferred ]]]. If you don't specify the callback then you'd simply won't call it. Don't know whether calling it directly and updating the Qt control will work, as I recall that you have to change control values only from the event thread for Win32, there must be someway of enqueuing things to run in the event thread. I assume you know what'll work in Qt
