Darktable on Windows: forcing focus during batch export #700

Description

@FrancoisParis77

Hello,

With Darktable 5.6.0,
Under Windows 11 64 bits,

Image

When exporting multiple images,
If you wish to perform another task—such as reading or writing—during the export process,

The Darktable window regains focus after each individual export completes in order to display the corresponding notification message.

Risk: If you are using another window with the keyboard during an export, the forced refocusing of the Darktable window can cause the most recently pressed keys to be interpreted as shortcuts; for instance, pressing the 'r' key could affect all the images selected for the export.

There is no information in the documentation, no open issues, and no setting available to disable these export completion notifications or to prevent the Darktable window from automatically regaining focus.
