I would find it extremely convenient to have a notification option (or options) to notify the user when the Build Status for a project is complete.
Sometimes when building executables or installers--or both--the compiler can take a while depending on the size of the project. During this time I don't just stare at the progress bar, but found that even if I left window open in plain view (off to the side or something), it is not obvious when the process is complete (the 'Done' button changes to Enabled and that's about it).
Options to notify the user could be any number of things:
- Beep when complete
- Bring the dialog to the front (only works if it's not visible already)
- Flash the window on the taskbar as a notification (maybe)
- Pop up a modal dialog
- Some combination of the above
- Also possible, a checkbox on the Build Status dialog to receive a notification or not
