# tracker-status-icon(1)

Miner status and control notification area icon

## NAME

tracker-status-icon - Miner status and control notification area icon

## SYNOPSIS

**tracker-status-icon**

## DESCRIPTION

**tracker-status-icon** is a [**tracker-store**(1)](/tracker-store/1.md) notification area icon meant to provide a fast way to check the status of Tracker's data miner and to be able to control those miners with simple commands like pause and resume.

When clicking on the icon, a list of data miners is presented. In this list there is an image to the left which indicates the paused or non-paused state. There is also a progress bar which indicates how far through the work load the data miner is.

Each miner can be paused/resumed by clicking on it in the menu.

From the context menu, **tracker-status-icon** allows the user to configure the preferences of **tracker-miner-fs** using the **tracker-preferences** application.
