File copying from PC to Android works OK.
But when I rerun the file compare almost all files come up again.
The date used on the PC is last modified time.
But on the phone date used is created time (the time the file is updated).
Of course that is different that the PC last modified.
How do I get passed this (can use "compare contant" but that takes forever).

Yes, Android for whatever reason, has set permissions such that file modfication times are not allowed to be set. Only workaround: compare by file size.

To bypass this, I set the sync settings so that FFS does nothing to files which are newer on the right side.
