Suggestions for Sync directories screen

It would be nice if in the sync directories screen, an "ignore size" checkbox existed. Sometimes you may wish to check just for a file existence...

As is now, it is possible to achieve that by selecting "ignore date" and uncheck the "unequal files" checkbox, but the "ignore size" is quicker and simpler.

Also, it would also be nice if you could "sync files in a direction". For instance if one chooses to "sync files to the right", that would mean that for all marked files:
  • All files that exist only on the left side would be copied to the right
  • All files that are different would be copied to the right (only if the left file is newer - this could be a question like the "overwrite" one that appears when copying a single file)
  • All files that exist only at the right size would be deleted

You can click on the "duplicates" button to hide/show files which are on both sides, so you can see only added files.

That's what the option "Asymmetric" does!

Ah, OK. One direction only as it seems (left-to-right), but still, it seems to do what i want. Thanks Christian.
