Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When running the gui you won't receive debug etc messages which are printed to console. Some of these may give the user information that is helpful but it's not intuitive to check the cli window. Ideally the logging methods could be refactored to print to a pane in the GUI when running in gui mode.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the GUI mode and the existing logging methods, then read the related discussion in issue #684. Determine how console messages are currently produced and where a GUI pane could receive them. Done means useful debug and informational output is visible within the GUI instead of requiring the CLI window.
