Integrated Notification when a scan and or rescan has finished.

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 Reference: https://github.com/meganz/MEGAsync

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.
