[chimera-dev] Chimera extension threads

[Tanja Štular]

Dear Conrad,

Thank you for fast reply. Unfortunately, I'm having the problem due to the
large data. As I understand correctly for now there is no way to solve this
problem? I would be happy even with just making a plugin responsive while
Chimera is loading.

Regards,
Tanja
