Request to have an option to ignore size and / or time mismatches between anaylse and sync.
Currently if a file changes between analysing and then syncing FFS throws an error and doesn't copy the file. It would be great to have an option to ignore the difference and copy the file as it is at the point of copying.
FFS could throw a warning for this to the log.
thanks,

For uni-directional syncs (Mirror, Update or some Custom variants) your proposed feature could make sense.
However, for bi-directional syncs (either Two-way or some Custom variants) you absolutely do not want this, as that would be a disaster waiting to happen.

Absolutly.
Although I can see a case for it bi-directional, but with modified behavour - say copy file(s) either way with the modified files having different names. For instance Dropbox does something similar in this scenario. This leaves the user (outside of FFS) to resolve the conflict. But again files are synced rather than just failing.
My route to the request was uni directional mirror.
