Thanks for creating the tool!

On Windows, SyncTrayzor has the ability to show in its notifications details about changes being pulled. For example:

<folder>: updated <file>

In the syncthing web GUI you find this information under "Latest Change".

This could be a nice feature to also add to syncthingtray.

In the syncthing web GUI you find this information under "Latest Change".

This is actually displayed in the tray as well. The tray also shows the files being currently pulled under "Downloads", but that only seems to work for big files which take some time to be downloaded.

So you really want a notification for each file which has been downloaded completely? This would likely be very annoying. (The "Sync complete" is already very annoying.) In my opinion it would make more sense to make this information available as a log which one can show manually.

It may not be for everyone, but I find it quite useful to know which files someone has changed when collaborating. This makes most sense for folders that don't change often. It saves clicking the tray. :)

Ok, then I maybe implement it. I guess for being actually useful, there should be a way to limit the notifications to specific folders (that don't change often). This would be a new concept to introduce, but doable of course.

That is a very good point! Now that I come to think about it, that's also how SyncTrazor does it (configurable per folder).

Thanks for considering. :)
