Status Window

SuperSync's status window provides important information across a variety of categories regarding libraries, network status, and basic operation. The information displayed in the status window can be selected by using the Status pull down menu or the hotkey associated with the selection. You can scroll through the status display options by clicking on the window. The scroll feature is disabled when the locking the status by selecting Status > Lock Status. The status window can display the following information:

Status Window

System Status: This option displays the SuperSync version number and how system resources are being used by SuperSync. You should never need to know the number of running threads or the maximum memory--but if you experience a slowdown and you see you're out of memory, this could be useful in submitting a report or just signaling a restart.
The hotkey for this option is cmd+1

Library Status

Library Status: This option displays information about the tracks in each library.
The hotkey for this option is cmd+2

Player Status: This option displays status of the SuperSync player, including current track time and name. The status window is blank when this option is selected and no song is playing.
The hotkey for this option is cmd+3

server

Server Status: This option displays status related to SuperSync when it acts as a music server.
The hotkey for this option is cmd+4

transfer

Transfer Status: This option displays the status of any current uploads or downloads.
The hotkey for this option is cmd+5

selection

Selection Status: This option displays information about the currently selected file.
The hotkey for this option is cmd+6

iTunes Status: This option displays iTunes connection information, including whether any updates are being performed. Selecting this item will trigger a check to see if the iTunes XML file has changed, and if possible, will rescan the library.
The hotkey for this option is cmd+7

The last menu item, Lock Status: This option lets you keep the status window on the current mode

Note: Clicking on the status window will switch to the next status mode. SuperSync will try to switch the status to the most relevant mode unless locked

Source Codes

All files in your library have a colored dot next to them:
gray Gray dot means a local, unsynchronized track
Blue dot means a remote, unsynchronized track
Green dot means a local synchronized track.
Turquoise Green dot means a remote synchronized track, on your remote library. These tracks are usually omitted so that you don't see two of every synchronized track.

Pie charts are used to give you an idea of how much of each album, artist, and genre are synchronized. Blue is remote library, gray is local, and green is synchronized.

Flag Codes

Tracks in your library may have different "flags" associated with them. Flags can represent a state of the track that helps you manage your music. A short abbreviation is available for many types of flags -- a quick overview is available by selecting "Flag Codes" in the Status Menu, which will show a short list of flags and very brief explanation.

Flag Description
Local Unsynchronized - In local library and not remote library
Remote Unsynchronized - In the remote library and not in the local library
Local Synchronized track - This exact file is in both libraries

Not found on Disk: Track does not appear to be on the disk where it should be. A rescan is recommended.
