The ActionParts already have an order, isn't this sufficient? The filter 
could just be another ActionPart.

I would go with associating the syncing history to the specific 
Konnector settings, so that we change without history when the file 
name or something similar is changed.

Agreed.

Agreed. That's an important part of a syncing framework.

How is this supposed to work. What kind of class is FileFilter?

Yes.

We need a significantly simpler GUI and much better status and error 
information. At the moment it's hard to see what went wronmg or what is 
happening at all. I would suggest to give each profile a "header part" 
which is always there as first part of the profile which is used for 
Konnector selection and status reporting.
