Only sync the selected action preview?

I used a version of this app later last year, and whichever action view I had selected (update/move, do nothing, delete) would be the action that the program would perform when I clicked Synchronize. I updated the app a bit ago and it doesn't seem to do this any more? I would like to go through with file deletions first and the rest of the actions later, so I used to just view the file deletions and hit Synchronize and it would perform the deletions, leaving the rest of the actions (moving files, updating files) for later.

I do this now and no matter what actions I have viewed, it wants to go through with all of them at once. I like to go through with deletions first as I have limited space on the device I'm syncing to, then updating files, then copying new files. Is there a setting I'm missing?

I know that I can change it manually in the settings to only perform actions on files that do not match, and then only perform actions on files that are newer, but it takes way longer to manually update your preferences each time than to just select the view you want to take action

Also, you may have been using the filters at the bottom of the comparison results to only show certain actions.
