The intention of Elucidate, is to make it easier and clearer on how to use the
SnapRAID Command-line
application.
Lets take a look at the layout:
This will hold the preferences that have been setup for this application.
It will need to know the location of the SnapRAID executable.
On the first run this form will show and ask the user to fill in this location
before enabling any of the buttons.
It also needs to generate or locate the config file for SnapRAID to use. Without
this, SnapRAID will not work as expected. More on this later.
This will start up a viewer to look at the log files that Elucidate generates during it's processing. On Windows this will be WordPad.
A brief intro, probably this page :-)
This will switch to the Real-Time View and then run the "diff" command. It will list all the file changes that have occurred since the last Sync command.
This will generate or refresh (synchronize) the snapshot parity data sets.
It will read all your data, to check if it's correct.
If an error is found, you can use the "fix" command to fix it.
This is a tail of the current data being written to the log file.
Colors are used to show the level of the logging. So if you see red in
the middle of a run, then that's probably bad!
It is now a modeless window to allow all the tabs to shows their progress in a single place.
It will save it's position on the desktop, so it will be restored on the next run.
The left side shows the locale time stamp Followed by the current status.
This can also be used to Idle / Pause / Abort / Running (resume to normal) the current SnapRaid process.
The right show the progress percentages that come from SnapRAID.
