@juliaxbow restart is possible from tray menu, we should probably make this more accessible, if restarts are viable solution for daemon startup failure.
Did you want this to be available from just the "could not connect" screen? OR should users be able to access wherever they are in the app?
Assuming the latter based on your suggestion of "toggle-able" here are some options to include in the menu for initial feedback:
The toggles would require addt'l help text to explain what's happening.
I feel like we should use the icon that's on the far right,
to toggle it instead of simply redirecting to the status page and opening the advanced view... open to other thoughts here though.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. go daemon startup is tightly coupled to app startup. If you start IPFS desktop and the node fails to start due to repo lock or other issue, users have no ability to get things working without a full app restart.
We're all familiar with this screen which is indicative that a full app restart, or separate daemon start (via CLI) is required:
Describe the solution you'd like ipfs go daemon status should be toggle-able, restartable, stoppable, etc, from the ipfs desktop application
Describe alternatives you've considered N/A
