NOTE: Scrap containers may host items from arbitrary locations.
Note that Sync-o-paste acts on the selected items and doesn't require a prior Edit | Copy command. So items selected in A: will end up in c:documentskenny, those in A:help will end up in c:documentskennyhelp and so on. Once files are marked, use the special Edit | Sync-o-paste command available in scrap containers to copy all the files in their matching folders. if a change in daylight savings DST resulted in artificial 1-hour differences, you can set it to ignore this 1 hour - files differing by up to 1 hour will be considered identical as long as their size matches. You can use the Ignore tickbox at the bottom of the synchronization dialog to specify a different interval to ignore.
NOTE: When comparisons are based on date modified (or any other date) two items are considered different if their dates are more than +/- 2 seconds apart. So a file can be newer or identical in terms of date created or date picture taken, depending on the column you select. Any piece of file metadata (column) can be used, typically some date other than last modified. Files that exist in both folders are considered 'identical' without further checks for dates or contents. This quick-n-dirty scheme will just find items that are missing from either folder. If in doubt you should open the files and manually inspect the content. Note that when differences are found, there's no way to tell which file is 'newer' so xplorer² arbitrarily considers the version in the active pane as newer and the one in the inactive as older. This is a much slower but infallible method to compare for identity or otherwise. When dates are unreliable for one reason or other, you can check the actual data in the two files. This is the fastest way, when the date each file was last changed is used to determine if the two files are identical, and if not, which one is newer (the other one will then be older). If a file exists in both folders, the two copies are compared for differences, using the mechanism you specify: If a file in one folder doesn't have a matching namesake in the other folder, it is immediately considered unique (cf. The comparison logic first tries to match items left and right using the filename as a guide.
