Does 'Ingore Errors' during sync work the same way?

Hi, one of my favorite features of FFS was the 'Ignore Errors' checkbox that used to exist under the Synchronization tab. I was bitten during a huge file transfer last night when one of many transfer tasks encountered a full disk; and because ignore errors was not checked, it prevented the remaining transfer tasks to different disks from starting :(

I have found the Ignore Errors check box in the Comparison tab now, however I am not sure if things are behaving the same way as they used to. This check box does ignore errors if there is a conflict during the folder comparison, however does this still ignore errors during the synchronization? (disks running out of space, cables being unplugged etc.)

'Ignoring errors' always seemed like a quality of life feature for the Synchronization aspect of FFS, with errors during the comparison stage being an entirely different matter. For example, I personally would never want to ignore errors during the comparison stage, but would almost always want to ignore errors for individual tasks that cannot complete during the synchronization stage.
