Description of the issue

I've been struggling to set the run conditions of syncthing the way that they work. To be short, I spent a week testing different options of "Run conditions", and only after I found out that all of them are ignored I accidentally found out that I've set "Force start ignore run conditions" option in the "Status" tab.

What I suggest is to duplicate this setting in "Run conditions" menu, or at least, display a pop-up when you enter the "Run conditions" menu that "Syncthing currently ignores run conditions". That would've saved me a lot of time and some euros (I spent all my mobile data in the beginning of the month, unfortunately).

There's a notification shortcut for this. There's also a notification shortcut to force run for 1 minute if you have it set as "Follow Run Conditions."

Thank you for you help, but that's not what I meant. The biggest issue for me is that I don't know WHY Syncthing is running. Indeed, I have a notification, I see that it's on, but I don't see the reason. I was trying to figure it out through the "Run Conditions" menu, but it doesn't help. Unless you go in the "Status" tab you'll not find the reason.

My suggestion, is to duplicate the "Force Start", "Force Stop", and "Follow Run Conditions" in the "Run Conditions" menu, because that might be one of the most obvious places where a user will be looking for that kind of options.

Speaking about these "tiles" above the notifications, I just don't have them. I know I can add them, but again, that doesn't solve the problem. You need to know what you are looking for to add it. It can work for a case when you want to monitor is the "Froce" mode is on or off, but not when you start using the app and try to understand the reason why Syncthing is started or not.

Since the Run Conditions Menu already has a Description, you can simply display the current run status below this description. Alongside with a button which opens the status tab.

An outfoldable Notification with start stop and exit buttons as well as the current run or stop reason would also be a great addition or enhancement.
