Hello, at the moment you can select in Syncsettings (F7):
- to report conflicts
- to copy from right side to left side
- to copy from left side to right side
But in my 2-Way-Sync Setup it is a bit inconvenient:
Please add Feature that FFS detects automatically which file of the conflicts is newer and automatically selects the newer one to be copied.
I can see only a flash-sign on every conflict and have to select it all manually and that is very inconvenient.
Thank you, S.

Generally spoken: a conflict signals you have a problem!
If only one side has changed since the last 2-way sync, there is no conflict,
and the newer file will be marked to be copied over to the other side.
If you do have a conflict in your 2-way sync, it means that the file at stake
has changed at both sides, and thus at both sides is "newer" than at the time
of the last sync.
The "newest" one might very well not include changes included in the "less new" one ...
And vice-versa.
In such case, you better make an explicit choice which "newer" file to keep.
If you often have these conflicts, you probably need to change your sync frequency or your way of working.
