UI suggestion for Watch/Pause

[ahnissen]

The global automatic-watching state is only discoverable in the menu-bar menu; please surface it in the main UI and Settings, especially when rules display as Paused.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm not sure I fully understand what you have in mind. Could you clarify how you would expect the global Watch/Pause state to be surfaced in the main UI and in Settings?

For example, where would you expect to see it, and what information or control should be displayed there?

A screenshot or quick mockup of what you have in mind would also be helpful.

Hey Sorry for not explaining better – I realize it may have been a bit vague. I spend a lot of time clicking on or around the PAUSED label (see attached screenshot) and going in and out of Settings, but couldn’t work out how to unpause…until I realized Forel is probably best used as a menu bar app, and checked there… 😉 Maybe it’s just me, but I thought it might be nice to be able to toggle that state in the main UI as well. Best regards, Anders
