I applogise if I have put this in the wrong place as its my first post. I
think this program is great and love the way it operates. Starting from
scheduled tasks is very handy.

Is it possible to set a rule to rename a file that has the same name but
different content?

For example:

Before sync:

Left Side Right Side

Hello.txt 6kb Hello.txt 4kb


And After Sync:

Left Side Right Side

Hello.txt 6kb Hello(1).txt 4kb
Hello.txt 6kb

This way I could back up files that have been modified as well as keeping a
copy of the original. Obviously you could use a date stamp or something
instead.

Um... the example did not show up as intended!

I meant:

Before Sync:

Left Side:

Hello.txt 6kb

Right Side:

Hello.txt 4kb


And After Sync:

Left Side:

Hello.txt 6kb

Right Side:

Hello(1).txt 4kb
Hello.txt 6kb

"Sync Settings->Deletion Handling->User-defined directory" is what you're
looking for. :)

Hello! Has this option changed on the current version 5.7? Is this now the
"versioning" feature under "Sync Settings | Versioning"?

Thanks!

Yes, it's basically the same. But the versioning naming convention changed
with v5.7, see:
