Descrizione
- OS: Windows 10
- Version of IPFS Desktop 0.15.0
Describe the bug I connect my IPFS Desktop installation on Windows to another IPFS node on my Raspberry Pi on my local network. The connection is established correctly, but certain system tray menu items like Status / Files / Peers are disabled. If I open the UI of IPFS Desktop all the pages are fine, showing the status / files / peers of my remote node.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install an IPFS node on your local network
- Start IPFS Desktop on another computer
- Change the API address to the remote one
- Right click on the system tray icon
- You will see that certain items are disabled
Expected behavior I would expect to see the Status / Files / Peers menu items enabled. Also it would be great if the IPFS node status on the top of the tray menu and the tray icon itself would show the status of the currently connected (remote) node.
Screenshots
We are connected to the remote node, but the tray menu doesn't reflect that:

Setup of the remote API address:
