Description
LMMS **usually** freezes when I open a specific folder via file dialogs.
The freeze happened with all file dialogs in LMMS but didn't happen with any in FL Studio.
_An example where I open a folder normally then open the one that causes the freeze_:
The folder that caused the freeze contains 50 executable (.exe) and Windows Installer (.msi) files with a total file size of ≈ 1.75 GB. I think the reason behind the freeze is the big number of files or the big file size.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the freeze in LMMS's file dialogs with a folder containing many large .exe and .msi files, then trace the desktop file-dialog handling. Done means identifying the cause and verifying that opening the reported folder no longer freezes LMMS.
