It will be useful to give the user quick access to a sync profile's log files via the FFS GUI. This could be accomplished via a right-click context menuitem (preferred) or a menuitem in the main menu. To make it most powerful and useful, this menuitem can be a flyout that lists the most recent 10 log files for that profile. Selecting the desired log file will open it in the default text editor as defined by the OS.

After running a sync in the GUI there is a notebook-like icon (left in field 11 of the Main Dialog Overview) that will directly show you the log.

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I've found this before, but I always forget about it because it's not easily discoverable in the GUI. Perhaps discoverability of this useful feature can be improved.
