Status Bar

Status Bar

The Status Bar displays real-time information about the current workspace, the active image, and file selection state.

It provides continuous feedback during navigation, inspection, and modification without interrupting workflow. The status bar is informational only and does not contain interactive controls.


Purpose

The status bar is designed to answer questions such as:

  • What is the current state of the active image?
  • Are there unsaved changes?
  • How many images or files am I working with?
  • What file location am I currently inspecting?

Displayed values update automatically as the workspace state changes.


Image Status

Status

Displays the current state of the active image.

Possible values include:

  • New — The image was newly created
  • Compressed — The image is inside a compressed archive
  • Read Only — The image is opened in read-only mode

Only one status value is shown at a time.


Modified

Indicates whether the active image contains unsaved changes.

  • Displays the text Modified
  • Appears only when the active image has been modified
  • Hidden when no changes are pending

Image Information

Images

Displays the number of images currently loaded.

  • Shows nn images when no image filters are active
  • Shows nn of nn images when filters are applied

  • Shows nn images modified
  • Appears only when one or more images are modified

File Selection Information

These fields appear only when relevant to the current selection.

  • Shows nn Files when no files are selected
  • Shows nn of nn Files Selected when one or more files are selected

  • Format: Sector nn

Behavior Notes

  • Status bar values always reflect the active image
  • Fields appear and disappear dynamically based on context
  • Filtering affects image counts but does not affect modification state
  • The status bar does not modify image data or participate in undo/redo operations
