Public bug reported:

I was trying to upload holiday photos to Flickr today using the Gnome-Do
Flickr plugin. Once my photos were selected and I had added tags, I hit
the return key expecting things to be as simple as that - however, for a
good minute or two my computer whirred away and became pretty much
unresponsive whilst the plugin was processing all these photos - during
this time I was unable to use Gnome-Do - which didn't hide but rather
continued displaying the list of tags I had just entered. Likewise, my
computer was pretty much unusable during this time. Finally, about two
or three minutes after hitting the return key, the Gnome-Do bar at the
bottom of the screen disappeared and the photos began uploading - after
which there were no more problems and every so often I would be notified
that a photo had been uploaded successfully.

Whilst I understand that I was uploading a fair few photos (387 in fact,
roughly 1.1GB of files), I didn't expect this to cause my computer to
grind to a halt. Is there any way that all the processing of photos can
be posted to a background process so that I can continue to use my
computer normally and can also make use of Gnome-Do in the meantime?

Let me know if there is any more information you require.

Thanks

Jonathan
