Compare some files by size/time and another by content

[jakubbukaj]

Hello,
I would like to ask you whether it is possible to compare some files (following file masks as *.docx) by size/time and another by content? This functionality could be implemented as following:
1) User select not preferred kind of comparison
2) User select filters which will cause to use not preferred kind of comparison
3) Rest of files which does not match file masks are compared by second comparison algorithm

Thanks

Why not split this task into two jobs, like e.g.:
1st job: Include *.docx ; Exclude (the "standard" exclusions); compare by size/time
2nd job: Include * ; Exclude *.docx (plus the "standard" exclusions); compare by content

Because in that moment I would need to run two jobs manually. For me it is easier to spend more time by configuring and after that use just one job forever.

... multiple folder pairs ...

The only disadvantage of using multiple folder pairs in this case would be
that the two/multiple A/B folder pairs would be identical,
although the pairs would differ in local Comparison Settings,
in Include/Exclude filter and possibly in Sync Settings.

This will always raise the warning flag
"Multiple folder pairs write to a common subfolder. Please review your configuration."
Obviously, this warning can be ignored if you are convinced of the correctness of the settings, but is is not elegant.

Yes, that's the only limitation of this solution. "Review" in this case means making sure the two folder pairs are disjunct with regards to the file filter. If that is given, the warning can be ignored.
