Integrate update status on tab, not a popup

As I rip more movie and series videos, I am constantly clicking the force refresh button to ensure my file naming was accepted. After clicking the refresh button, I then have to open the status window to watch it. Yes, I realize this doesn't show the resolved video name, but it at least confirms Serviio found the file.

Since nothing else with the console can be done with the status window open, I suggest the two lines of information in the status window be instead incorporated directly on the library tab. I know I could easily do it within Visual Basic (only programming language I am familiar with), so I would assume Java could handle it as well.

the only problem is (and why I did it that way) the lack of space on the tab, if I want to keep the dimensions of the window the same.

I would have thought that it could fit fairly easily. Perhaps formatted differently. Instead of one line above the other, just run them left to right along the bottom of the panel. I'm at work right now, so can't look at it right now. Anyway, sure would be nice to have. :D

EDIT: Zip, I'm home now and looking at my server. I respectfully disagree about there being sufficient room on the tab for the status information. Even in their current vertical orientation it looks like they could easily fit to the right of the refresh interval box. If the entire width of the status pop-up is necessary to fit lengthy file names, I'm equally sure they could fit to the right of the Force Refresh button. The Show Status button not being needed any longer frees even more space. I also made sure I had not resized the console beyond your minimum size. ;)

Perhaps it's an issue of differences between the various OS platforms. I'm running Windows, and the frame that contains the buttons and interval box seems to have plenty of space.
