The class that handles throwing up the dialog does take a priority option
for each message, but I agree there is a more fundamental issue with
logging. 
In this case it is not really a log (as nothing is written to the log) it is
more of a "hey user, some contacts did not make it to the phone".
The current logging is mainly targeted at helping us as developers find
problems in BP rather than helping the user self diagnose, maybe we need to
create a new log (filter) that is specifically aimed at the user and appears
in a separate window.
It would not be too hard to move the logging into the send/get data function
in the gui, this way all data moving operating could provide user level
logging.
What do you think of the idea of
1) adding a new user log tab for import/export of data
2) having a filter on the existing window that allows users to disable
internal logging.
