Enhancement: Implement File Locking for Concurrent Writes

Description
Currently, the cache files (folders_cache.txt, images_cache.txt, and videos_cache.txt) do not have any file locking mechanism. If multiple processes or threads attempt to write to the same cache file simultaneously, it could result in data corruption or partial writes.

Problem

• Multiple concurrent writes can overwrite or corrupt the cache file.
• No mechanism prevents simultaneous access to cache files.
• This can lead to inconsistent or lost data.

Proposed Solution
Use the fs2::FileExt crate to implement exclusive file locking while writing to cache files.

Record

• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

Hi @anmolgupta2015, I noticed that this issue is currently unassigned. I was planning to work on it and make a PR once it's assigned. You shouldn't ask for assignment first?
