Import from USB - no success/error message

[Misiu]

The request

When trying to import settings from USB thumb drive there is no way to say if the process finished successfully or with errors.
In my case, I'm trying to enable I2C but I don't know if it succeeded (without restarting PI and checking).

Ideally, we should see a toast message when the USB device is connected and a message box when the settings get successfully imported or error message when there was a problem with this.

The alternatives

There are no alternatives. We can look at logs, but this won't say much.

In supervisor section I see:

20-07-13 20:03:45 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.hassos] Syncing configuration from USB with HassOS.

This should be built in the supervisor first, so could you add an FR there?

[Misiu]

@bramkragten according to issue template in supervisor repo, FR should go in the forum. I don't want to get a ban for that.
If possible, could you create it? Thank you.

[bramkragten]

So you should create the FR in the forum then, I have never used this functionality so am not the one to create an FR.
