UI-Freeze while loading folder content

Odd Issue, you guys are loading "File-System-Information on a remote server within the UI-Thread". (It seems)

This causes the whole UI to freeze, stuck, especially when connected through slow connections like 3G / LTE and stuff.

--> Put the data-loading-stuff into a separate thread, allowing the UI-Thread to respond at any time. Display a loading circle until loading finished. (Then at least users can close the application without crashing it)

Extra: Handle Directory Navigation to abort the background-thread loading data.
