Issue Description

Hi, my project is to take road survey images with D435 and gps
and I created a program with tkinter to process, output jpeg, txt, and shapefile

when I import library arcpy, everything works fine.
but if I didn't import arcpy, the tkfiledialog will freeze

since now my plan is to use pyinstaller to create exe for others, arcpy is not available and no longer needed, and here raised the issue

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog
import pyrealsense2

root = Tk()
file = filedialog.askdirectory()

this will make the window no response.

I can see that with tkinter is not a common option with rs, or which GUI is tested and would function well?

This could be similar with #4856. Will further check internally, and see if the community can help this.

another information:
the funciton I use is to create jpg from the bag with multiprocessing.Pool
I can use the tkfiledialog when I import it in the function.

Ex:

import tkfiledialog
import multiprocessing as mp

def rs_func():
    import pyrealsense2 as rs

if __name__ =='__main__':
    p = mp.Pool()
    tkfiledialoge()
    p.map()

as line 161-217 in my application
script
