Description

SyncTrayzor has the option of showing some messages (on Windows 10 they show up as notifications), such as the "device connected/disconnected" message and the "add new device/folder" message.

I would like to propose to add one more option to this list, and that is to alert the user on any file deletions. This, I feel, is important, because on multi-user multi-OS setups in my experience, I have had some silent deletions happening as a result of incorrect syncing, and not discovering about them until later.. which scares me (although I have backups). This would at least help detect these issues early on.

I am currently using SyncTrayzor 1.1.23 and Syncthing 1.3.4
