The Project Window is the central place when working with SmartSVN. In the center of the window, the main Directories and Files view shows the SVN file system of your currently opened project (working copy). Various SVN commands on these directories and files are provided by the menu bar and the toolbar.
In the bottom left area of the Project Window the Output view shows logged output from executed SVN commands. Depending on the command, there can be several SVN operations available for the logged files and directories.
In the bottom right the Transactions view (Project Transactions) collects and displays log information from the repository.
Always exactly one of the four views is 'active' which is displayed by its highlighted title. We will also refer to the active view as the view which 'has the focus'. Menu bar actions (as well as toolbar buttons) are always referring to the currently active view.
The layout of the Project Window can be arranged with the mouse by dragging the splitters resp. the Output or Transactions view. By dragging their titles, they can be undocked from one position and docked to another position. Both views provide toolbar buttons to maximize and minimize resp. auto-hide them. The layout of the Project Window can be managed per project and it is stored and recovered for future SmartSVN sessions.
At the very bottom of the Project Window the status bar displays various kinds of information. The first and largest section contains information on the currently selected menu item, operation progress or the repository URL of the currently selected file/directory. The second section displays information on whether you are in file or in directory mode resp. in none of both if the Directories and Files view is not active. The third section displays information on the Refresh state of the project and the fourth section is used for progress display during the execution of SVN operations. It may either show a percentual progress of the operation completion or the total amount of sent and received bytes during this operation.
