Steps to reproduce the issue

Open the Editor
Load a video
press (File) > Load
pick a video file (.mp4)

"Import frames from video" window opens up

Actual behaviour

While the import window is open, a green progress indicator animation plays on the "ScreeToGif - Editor" window on the task bar. It is really annoying and pointless.

Expected behaviour

The animation is misplaced and shouldn't be there.

Explination

This animation indicates an action in progress, but there is none. It's not used whenever a program is simply waiting for the user to finish a task, it's used when the program is working on a task on its own. If the user randomly pauses their task in ScreenToGif exactly at that point and does something else, the animation continues infinitely and keeps distracting the user.

Screenshot

Context

ScreenToGif version: 2.25
