7 Status Bar
7.1 Overview ¶
The status bar at the bottom of the main window shows the most important status information at a glance and contains a button on the right for triggering an immediate check or canceling a running processing cycle.
7.2 Display areas ¶
7.2.1 Profiles ¶
Format: Profiles: X/Y active - number of activated profiles (X) out of the total number (Y).
7.2.2 Log filter ¶
Format: Log filter: N - number of entries the active log filter (see chapter 5.2) currently hides. Without an active filter this reads Log filter: 0.
7.2.3 Log entries ¶
Format: Log entries: N - number of displayed log entries (after applying the log filter, across all tabs).
7.2.4 Status ¶
Shows the current program activity:
| Display |
Meaning |
| Ready. |
The program is waiting for new files |
| Next check in X seconds |
Countdown to the next scheduled check |
| Processing running… (X/Y) |
A processing cycle is active; X of Y files are done |
| Processing <file> (X/Y) - profile "…" |
The file currently being processed, with progress and profile |
| Pause after sending email (X s)… |
The configured wait time between email sends is running (see chapter 40.8) |
| Processing not active |
No sign of life has been received from the processing service for a while - it was stopped or is malfunctioning. The watchdog normally restarts it within seconds; if the message persists, restart the program (see chapter 60.1). With the option "Background processor is managed externally" set, the program does not start the service itself - check it on the Options → Windows service page in that case (see chapter 40.7.3). |
| Processing by the Windows service |
Only appears without the option "Background processor is managed externally" set: a processing service (or a headless processor) is processing, so the program window does not start processing of its own (see chapter 40.7.2). If the service runs under the same user account, its current status follows, e.g. "- Next check in X seconds" |
| Processing in another session of this user |
The same Windows user is already processing in another session (e.g. on a terminal server); this window does not process as well and takes over as soon as the other session stops processing |
| External processor - the service will start within X seconds… |
Only with the option "Background processor is managed externally" set: shortly after booting, the Windows service with delayed start is not yet running as planned (see chapter 40.7.4) |
Short feedback messages of individual actions also appear here, e.g. after creating an error report or queuing a file for reprocessing.
7.3 Check now / Cancel processing ¶
The button in the bottom-right corner has two states:
| State |
Button |
Effect |
| No cycle active |
Check now |
Wakes the background processing for an immediate check of all active profiles |
| Cycle running |
Cancel processing |
Cancels the running cycle; the file currently being processed is finished, the cancellation takes effect between files |
Tip: Check now is particularly useful after profile changes, so you don't have to wait for the next check interval.
