When I try to open two images from app, then only in AppImage after opening first, the entire UI froze and I must close this image to be able to open next one.  
This doesn’t

Binaries to test can be downloaded here - [https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/releases](https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/releases)  
`linux_czkawka_gui` - normal binary, needs GTK 3.22+ to be able to run - needs to be opened from command line  
`linux_czkawka_gui.AppImage` - appimage binary, built on Ubuntu 18.04

Instructions which created this appimage - [https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/blob/a047380dbe8aa4d04f9c482364469e21d231fab2/.github/workflows/linux.yml#L250-L258](https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/blob/a047380dbe8aa4d04f9c482364469e21d231fab2/.github/workflows/linux.yml#L250-L258)

To reproduce this just create some 2 exactly the same images and scan its directory for duplicates and try open this images by double clicking at them.

Normal binary(correct behavior, I can open multiple files at once)

Hello @qarmin.

Please extract the contents of the AppImage with `--appimage-extract` and try again with the extracted `AppRun` file. If the issue persists, it is not an issue with AppImage but with the application contained therein.

I have submitted the AppImage to the automated test at [https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/pull/2414](https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/pull/2414).
