Linux inhibit

[JoelleJS]

I would like to prevent my pc going to sleep during a rip. Right now I'm using systemd-inhibit as a wrapper for fre:ac to do this, but this isn't ideal (sleep is prevented whether or not fre:ac is actually ripping).

So I'd like to try and add functionality to the Linux build to inhibit sleep (and suspension, and hibernation...) while a rip is in progress, preferably using the Inhibit XDG desktop portal, or otherwise the logind D-Bus API. Not sure if there are other options when neither is available, e.g. on non-systemd distros, but if so that's something I'd like to keep out of scope.

I'm not very familiar with the project structure though, so I was hoping to discuss what the best place is to put this logic. It seems to me like the DBus connection and actions belongs on an application level, with a slot for either enabling or disabling inhibition that is connected to a signal on e.g. JobConvert or JobManager?
