I'm running the tar.gz version of FreeFileSync on Xubuntu 13.04, if that
helps.

I tried comparing two folders, but need help interpreting the results.
Am I missing a doc file?

A few points:

The left side has a Relative path column, where sometimes folders are
listed instead of in the Name column. How does that work? Shouldn't the
comparison be strictly folder-by-folder?

Sometimes a folder on the right is shown with the left overwrite arrow,
as if this folder doesn't exist on the left. But on the left there are
lines that show that same folder in the Relative Path column, as if the
folder does exist. What does that mean?

Synchronization is set to two-way, but there's only a view for files
that will be overwritten on the left. Does overwriting on the right not
happen too? What's your definition of two-way sync?

How do I get a display of conflicting files? How are these resolved in a
two-way sync?
