[Enhancement]: Scan Notification

[Wrestor]

Environment

• OS: MacOS, Windows & Linux

Describe desired feature

Integrated Notification when a scan and or rescan has finished.

What issue does it solve?

Notifies the user, via a visual and or auditory notification, that a scan has been completed. A VDF scan can be started, VDF can be minimized, and when the notification arrives, you will know that it has been completed.

This might be difficult to achieve due to cross platform and I don't want to start coding it myself. And then we should discuss about what kind of notification we are speaking about. Desktop notification? Sound? Email?

I was thinking desktop level notifications, like Mega's

The simplest variant to implement would be to call a command line command of the user's choice after the scan is complete.
Drawback: Without further support (at least by examples), it would have to be assumed that not all users would be able to cope with it^^

Under Linux one would enter in the simplest case:
notify-send "VDF" "Scan completed"
or to get a sound as well:
notify-send "VDF" "Scan completed"; paplay /usr/share/sounds/linuxmint-login.wav
(Of course, you would usually have to specify another locally available wave file)

I think most end users cannot work with that. So it would be a good addition but not a solution.
