Description
Currently the GUI completely freezes and becomes non-interactive during long tasks. Ideally PandasGUI should block the user from triggering more actions while one is running but still be movable and display a loading bar and a status message of what action is currently running.
Will need to put PandasGuiDataFrameStore actions inside QThreads and loop `QEventLoop::processEvents()` until it is finished.

Need to make sure errors and stack trace logging are still handled gracefully
