I have several DVD's with raw files created over the years. I now want to consolidate them, but the directory structures are different although the file names are the same. The result should be with same-named files updated to the most recent archive.

The question: How can one do this? Is there a way of getting FFS to display the same file names on the RHS across from its partner on the LHS? Can one use another app to get a list and sort them by filename, and then supply them to FFS?

FFS is a sync tool, not a duplicate finder or the like.
FFS only compares and syncs identically named files in the same named folder in the same path relative to the FFS left and right base location.
