Syncthing should keep conflict files log OR notify about them.

[Hoth]

It would be really useful if we can get notified when syncthing has created a conflict file, so I can resolve that conflict in time.

OR

At least syncthing can keep a log of what conflict files it created if any. And I can set a weekly reminder for myself to check those logs and resolve the conflicts.

This feature is especially needed when we are syncing those directories which we don’t navigate to directly to access its content. Example: I use syncthing to sync my logseq graph.

This is a known, long-standing feature request.

I think conflict files should show up in the ‘recent changes’ list (available through the API). I investigated using this for notifying the user of conflicts in the iOS app but never got to implementing it.
