Batch export: constantly steals focus
Summary:
Batch exporting may take some time. During this time, Inkscape is not responsive, so a user would want to spend it in some other program.
This is, unfortunately, not possible, because the progress indicator dialog keeps popping up constantly and steals focus from any other application.
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
- create lots of objects
- Batch export them all to, say, PNG
- Try to browse the news, open a different file, update your system or any other activity during this.
What happened?
Inkscape keeps wanting attention, and you can't even type a password without being interrupted.
What should have happened?
Once I start using a different program, the progress indicator should not want to disturb me. When I'm focussing a different application, it would be nice to show a notification that the export has finished.
