Issue

When exporting on linux you see Exporting... in the toast for a long time. I was confused because I thought it was taking forever to export. The problem was the file explorer on linux didn't focus over my ZMA application so I did not realize it was waiting for me to pick a save location to disk.

You can see on the left hand side that cog is my file explorer but it doesn't render over my application. I was thinking it was taking a long time to export.

Potential solution

  • Update the toast to say "ready to save to disk" or something
  • See if we can call the electron API to focus the file explorer on top of the application

I don't know why on linux it shows an OS notification, puts the application in my desktop tool bar but won't pop to the front of my screen.
