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:

  • "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
