# GUI : Navigation

When you first launch Chloros and Chloros (Browser) it will start up its backend. Once it is ready the top left main menu icon will be revealed <img src="/files/dxSz8grTxJEZmezcDUiW" alt="" data-size="line"> .

From left to right the top header contains:

### <img src="/files/87ztPeO5FlZiwPXA78Xu" alt="" data-size="line"> Main Menu

<figure><img src="/files/GLfp56N68nTz4Wpmt1fj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

From the main menu you can:

* **New Project** — create a new project
* **Open Project** — open an existing project
* **Open Project Folder** — open the project folder in your file explorer
* **Add Files** — add individual image files to the current project *(visible after a project is opened)*
* **Add Folder** — add a folder of images to the current project *(visible after a project is opened)*
* **Start Processing / Stop Processing** — start or stop the image processing pipeline *(enabled after files are added)*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Windows only**: The Chloros Desktop GUI is available on Windows. Linux users should see the [CLI](/chloros/cli.md) and [Python SDK](/chloros/api-python-sdk.md) documentation for headless processing.
{% endhint %}

When enabled, the start processing button starts the image processing pipeline.

### <img src="/files/DFXwkS2ZAtaWgSBzwHBT" alt="" data-size="line"> Progress Bar <img src="/files/PJWFVoNN5eFAyETK06gc" alt="" data-size="line">

In the free Chloros mode, which processes all files sequentially, the progress bar will show 2 stages: Target Detect and Processing.

In the paid Chloros+ licensed mode, which process all files simultaneously, the progress bar shows 4 stages: Detecting, Analyzing, Calibrating, Exporting. If you hover your mouse cursor over the Chloros+ progress bar it will drop down the extended 4 progress bar panel so you can follow along. Clicking the top progress bar will freeze the dropdown panel, clicking again unfreezes it.

## Side Menu

The left sidebar menu contains various icons to interact with:

#### <img src="/files/IWmLTh8VwuPoWX3dmBTe" alt="" data-size="line"> [Project Settings](/chloros/project-settings/project-settings.md)

The Project Setting tab allows you to adjust project global and project processing settings. Adjust these prior to starting to process your files.

#### <img src="/files/yDndZuJw9lwULc0tT3eG" alt="" data-size="line"> File Browser

Add files/folders and remove files from the project. Duplicate files are ignored. Check the target column box for any target image, and the processing will only look at checked images for targets, greatly speeding up your processing time. Use the Image/Metadata toggle to switch between viewing the selected image's thumbnail grid and a detailed metadata table.

#### <img src="/files/WSt27I816dXPwreX5dU0" alt="" data-size="line"> [Image Viewer](/chloros/image-viewer-gui/opening-an-image-full-screen.md)
