Server - start scheduled task after other task finishes

hey

instead of specify the time for a task, it would be nice if you could say:

start task a after task b has finished.

On lower powered servers it is safer to run only one task at once, and on this way there would be no loss of time between the tasks.

It's helpful for less powerful machines and all tasks that depend on the library. So for example a thumbnail image extraction, subtitle download or episode intro detection would make sense after the library scan is finished. That way I have a complete and fresh library and can now start to do the detailed work on it. I have these configured with timeintervals and some safeguard time in between. But that way, a manual library scan always means waiting till 3am or triggering the image extraction task manually.
While the task triggers other tasks when finished I could just trigger a library scan and will get all other tasks that depend on it triggered after it's finished.
