Improve notification toasts when saving a file

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
When you save a file, you get two notifications:

Describe the solution you'd like
The "Library saved" toast should hide the "Saving library" toast.

I think in general we show the last 5? notififcations as toast. One needs to check if there is one shown with saving

I would remove these notifications completely.

• SaveDatabaseAction.java
• SaveDatabaseAction.java

I think it's important to have visual feedback that the action has been performed.

I am used IntelliJ and Microsoft Products. Partially VS Code. In none of them, there was a notification for successful save. We have the typical star marker (*example.bib) Why should be derivate from the typical UI pattern?

Hi, is this issue still open? Can I work on it?

@YinyinChencr7 Since there are multiple opinions regarding this issue and no decision has been made, I would suggest to choose another good first issue from our projects page.

I also think that two notifications for basically the same thing is a little overkill. Those notifications are very big and prominent in the UI. If I remember correctly, we wanted to have them, because we want to know if each and every pdf was imported correctly.

Ok, I will choose a good first issue.
