Events and Event View
2+
=====================
3+
4+
Vault events give information about the vault's status and certain activities.
5+
There are several types of events, including conflict detection or corrupted files.
6+
All vault events are logged in the event view, which can be opened from the main window.
7+
8+
.. note::
9+
10+
Vault events are not persisted on the hard disk.
11+
They are only stored in memory and are lost when the application is closed.

Event View
17+
------------
18+
19+
The event view shows the events of all vaults.
20+
To open the event view, click on the Bell icon in the lower left corner of the main window.
21+
If new, unread events are present, the icon has a small red dot.

27+
28+
The event view has an action bar at the top followed by the actual event list.
29+
Events are displayed from newest (top) to oldest (bottom).
30+
You can filter the events by the vault they belong to.
31+
Also, you can clear the event log by clicking on the trash can icon.

Vault Event
37+
-----------
38+
39+
A vault event consists of a title, its number of appearances in brackets, an affected file, and a timestamp.
40+
If you hover over the event, a button to open a context menu appears.
41+
The context menu contains event-specific actions, mostly to reveal affected files in the file manager.
42+
43+
If the vault of the event is locked, the event is anonymized.
44+
To view the event details, you need to unlock the corresponding vault first.
