First, great tool, I already donated as it is so useful.

In doing some testing before I start using it for my "production" file sync operations, I noticed a couple things with "Copy File Access Permissions". I'm on MacOS, and running batch jobs from the command line. Yes, I am using sudo for Admin rights.

I am mirroring my Source folder to my Target folder, using file content. I have a file - text1.txt - that syncs successfully when I update the contents, however if I chmod or chown the file to something different, it doesn't sync that over to Target. the new chmod/chown settings only sync if I modify the contents of the file.

I also tested using file time & size, same results.

So, is there a way to ensure a file syncs again when the chown/chmod settings are modified but the content is not?
