    I have a loading gif named loading.gif.
    I want to display this gif in a label using QMovie, while a function named extractMeta() that takes some time to execute is running in parallel. Then I want this gif to disappear as soon as the extraxtMeta() function completed execution.
    How can I do so?
    I have read that QConcurrent might be a possible solution, but I am having trouble understanding how to implement this.

      hi @BigBen

      thats only possible, as long as your long running function does not modify Ui-elements

      but yes, QtConcurrent is one of the possible options to use

      let me link you to my git repo
      https://github.com/DeiVadder/QtThreadExample

      that covers all (Qt) ways of parallelisation, and should give you a good starting point

      Q: What's that?

      Q: What does it do?
      A: It turns blue.
