I've been using WC - or TC now - for over 7 years and here's a feature I'd really like to see: I have a lot of archives and files that I synchronize every now and then. Often, a few files will have the same name but different sizes and dates. Everytime I see the dialog box saying "overwrite file..." I must read the "fine print" to notice the differences or if it's the same at all. This can be tiresome on the eyes after a short while.
How about a dialog box with color indicators for the name, date and size. If a criteria is different, a red icon could be more indicative, likewise if it's all green we could safely overwrite it (or not) at a glance. Better yet, a simple "file-compare" button could be placed, enabling the user to examine suspiciously similar-looking files. Also, how about a user-programmable "similarity criteria" feature? Say, if files are just 50-100 bytes different everything else being the same (or vice versa with dates), we could do a 'file-compare' (Shift+f2) and be able to choose those "same" files on the other pane?
Just my two-cents worth.. Keep up the great work!

This is indeed planned for the next version!Better yet, a simple "file-compare" button could be placed, enabling the user to examine suspiciously similar-looking files.
