Every camera has a card. Its colour shows the state, the message says what it is doing right now, the line under it counts the files, and the dot in the pill at the top right shows whether the camera is fully up to date. In the Classic layout (About → Classic layout) the same colours, messages, counts and dot are shown on one progress bar per camera.
← Back to What's NewThis is how one camera's card changes as it comes home, downloads and leaves again. It repeats automatically – click a step to jump to it.
What each part of a camera's card shows.
| Colour | The card fills with the state colour (see Colours below). While a batch downloads, the fill grows from left to right across the whole batch, 0 to 100% over all the new files. |
| Strip | A solid line of the same colour along the bottom of the card. |
| Movement | A sweep while checking, and flowing arrows while files download. |
| Message | What the camera is doing now – every message is listed below. |
| Counts | The line under the message – see “The file counts” at the end of this page. |
| Pill and dot | The pill at the top right names the state (for example Connected, Downloading, Offline); its dot shows whether the last run completed – see The status dot below. |
| One line | A camera that goes away folds down to one line – still with its colour, message and pill – and opens again by itself when it comes back or starts downloading. Click the line to open it. |
| Full text | Hover over a card to see the camera name, its IP address and the full message. |
Each colour means one thing – on the card, and on the bar in the Classic layout.
Movement tells you the app is busy. On a card it runs across the card, behind the text.
The dot sits in the pill at the top right of each card (to the right of the bar in the Classic layout). When the camera is offline or there is a save problem, it keeps its last colour – so you can still see whether the last run finished.
“Front” is the camera name. Numbers and file names are examples. Hover over any card (or bar, in the Classic layout) to see the camera name, its IP address and the full text.
The line under the message on a card (the right-hand text on the Classic bar): file counts for the current or last run.
33 pending33 pending, 3 skipped, 1 failed | During a download run. “Skipped” and “failed” only appear when they are not zero. |
[45 new: 40 ok, 3 skipped, 2 failed] | When a run ends – including a stopped or cancelled run. “N not tried” is added if it stopped early. |
[1234 on camera, none new] | Nothing new to download. |
Last run: [ ... ] | A new check has started – the counts are from the previous run. |
