Hi
It seems to be hidden now. When you move your mouse pointer over your account avatar near the bottom of the left hand menue, the globe slides up.
I found it much better before when one had it in sight to become aware, when sync was not connected anymore.
Best, P.
Yeah! Thanks @phaeussler ,
Found it!
It moved to the bottom of the sidebar “channels”.
I went through the release notes and i think it is stated wrong here: Anytype Desktop 0.54.0 – Focus & Flow , and i couldn’t find any related notes in earlier release notes.
Where it is now is more like the: sidebar channel overview footer.
I also liked it more when it was always in sight. Since i switch a lot between devices, this brief glimpse to the sync indicator really has become a habit that ensures that i am save to shut down my laptop. It also has a way more catching position on mobile devices (Android 0.46.11): header, floating, visible on all objects, colors.
@Razor can we move the sync status indicator to somewhere more visible?
its already back, lol
