 - Added 'Update events in snirf file (BLAZES)...' and renamed 'Update events in snirf file...' to 'Update events in snirf file (BORIS)...'
 - The BLAZES option will assign events that are exported directly from the software [BLAZES](https://git.research.dezeeuw.ca/tyler/blazes)
 - Moved the updating logic to a seperate file for better reusability and generalization
+- Fixed 'Toggle Status Bar' having no effect on the visibility of the status bar
