Load/parse projects without blocking the UI

XMLWordPrintable

      I use sessions quite heavily - several projects are open in each session, and I switch between sessions often. The problem is that loading/parsing all of the projects in the session blocks the UI, especially on crappy hardware. It would be nice if the projects could be loaded in separate threads, where the respective project tree view item is disabled until it is ready. The project that was last active in the session could be loaded "first" (or given a higher priority, or however that's done with threads...), so that I could start working without having to wait for the other projects to load.
