Research direction

In the _on_ingest() finished() callback, use Gio.Notification and Gio.Application.send_notification; the payload does not name a file. Start by tracing how ingestion completion reports source counts and whether the window is active. Run make test and check that an inactive window gets a notification with ingested and failed source counts.

Description

area: ui good first issue

Ingesting a big folder can take minutes. If the window is not focused, users should get a GNOME notification.

Where to look: Gio.Notification and Gio.Application.send_notification, in the finished() callback of _on_ingest().

Done when: a notification says how many sources were ingested (and how many failed) when the window is not active.
