The status bar
The status bar is the bottom line of the window. On the left it counts what is on the canvas; then it shows a running build of the assistant and, when there is one, the notice of a new version.
What it shows
| Item | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| nodes | "7 nodes" | nodes in the whole graph |
| links | "9 links" | links in the whole graph |
| selection | "No selection", "2 selected" | selected nodes |
| zoom | "Zoom 60%" | the zoom of the canvas |
| version | "Version 79" | the number of the current version of the graph; every change makes a new one. See History and undo. |
| a build | "The assistant is changing the graph" with Pause and Stop; "The assistant is paused" with Resume and Stop | only while the assistant builds |
| a new version | "Version … is available" with What is new, Download and Hide until the next version | only when Check for new versions is on in Settings ▸ Privacy and a newer version exists |
The language and the motion are no longer shown here; they are in the View menu and in Settings ▸ Appearance & Motion. F6 reaches the status bar from the keyboard.
When a build needs the room, the zoom and the version give way first.
