With previous installations of MusicBee, there was a status bar at the very bottom showing text only.  It would show information related to its processing.  This seems to be gone now in version 3.2.6902.

I selected the option to Rescan All Files in my library.  It started doing this activity, but it showed no information about it.  I waited some time then attempted to close MusicBee.  I got messages about tasks still running and decided to let it finish.  However, I had no idea when it would be completed.

I checked all options and do not see a way to bring this status bar back.  Can anyone tell me where it went?

In all my years of using MB I can't recall a time when the wasn't a status bar. Can you post a screenshot please showing the entire window?
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

What screen/tab were you on?  I noticed last night I was in a view I'd never used before (Artist Picture in Now Playing), and I had to go to Customize Panel...Status Bar = Show to turn that on even though it was on in other areas.  Apparently, it was overridden to be "Hide" in that view.  Try looking for a setting like that in the panel you're using.

The overall setting is in Edit->Edit Preferences->Layout(1)...bottom panel: status bar: show summary stat

I do have bottom panel, Show Summary Statistics checkbox checked off.  I am not seeing a status bar text I have seen at the bottom.  Here is a screen shot:



I always use Now Playing with cover art showing in a large image.

Again, go into "Arrange Panels" for the view you're in and...
