Is there a way to do comparison of folders considering two files with given (fixed) small size difference as identical?

Kind of option analogical to the feature considering that two files with time shift of 2 seconds are identical (the time shift being possible to adjust modyfing the advanced settings in *.xml config file).

Thanks

Hi,
FFS is great. I've run version 6.1 till now.
Understand the size issue has been discussed on this forum for many times.
But I'm looking forward to have the same feature that Stephan needs.

About Encrypted Files

I regularly run FFS to backup files on file server A to a mobile disk B, and from disk B to server C.
Since many files on my source folder on A is encrypted, and I need to keep some target folder on C decrypted.
The file sizes of the encrypted and decrypted are always different for a fixed few bytes.
The sync comparison will regard encrypted and decrypted files different and take a long time to finish.

Hope file size tolerance setting will be available in the future.

Thanks.
