Activity Indicator

The activity indicator is a status bar located below the studies list that keeps you informed about what Cygnus is currently doing. It displays transient messages about application operations and includes an animated progress ring during active operations.

Location

The activity indicator sits at the bottom of the studies panel on the left side of the window, directly below the studies list.

  • Generation Started -- When ephemeris generation begins
  • Generation Complete -- When generation finishes
  • Study Copied -- After a study has been duplicated

An animated progress ring appears on the right side of the status bar during active operations and disappears when the operation completes.
