Main Window


The main window of the Upload Client shows the current status of active uploads, recent activity, and provides access to both the PathcoreFlow web application and the local folder it is monitoring for new files.

When the main user interface window is closed, the background service continues to upload files and monitor the scan folder for new images.

  2. Click on the item name to open it in PathcoreFlow in your default web browser

If the item has been deleted from PathcoreFlow, clicking on its name in this list will do nothing.

If the user account used to connect the Upload Client to PathcoreFlow does not have the required permissions to view the item, clicking on it will also do nothing.

Status Bar

At the bottom of the main window of the user interface is the Status Bar. This displays a message reflecting the state of the Upload Client to the user.

Some examples of messages:

  • "x/y Files uploaded...": A running count of the number of successful transfers and how many total items are to be uploaded
  • "Uploads paused.": Transfers have been paused by the user. They can be resumed by clicking on the Resume button in the Action Bar
  • "Unable to connect to the server. Please try again later.": A network problem is preventing the Upload Client from reaching PathcoreFlow. Transfer will resume automatically when the network problem is resolved
