1.8.2 - file sync seems broken (always detects changes)

Hello,

MPE worked superb for me in 1.8.1, this is surely the best piece of software for Android right now. A bidirectional sync "newest files win" file sync would be welcome, but so far I managed to arrange having a 2-way sync Phone<->PC by using 2 sync jobs and combination of "save folder" and "reflect folder" get the result closest to what I need.

Problem 1: The problem that appeared when I updated to 1.8.2 is that MPE always detects changes even there are none. E.g. every time the sync job Phone->PC with "reflect folder" is done for the folder with .mp4 files MPE forces overwrite of hundreds of MB of movies I have on the phone, even though they were not modified. I get the same problem in analogous sync jobs for ebooks or document folders. This is very annoying.

Problem 2: could there be a "save folder" sync job with the "delete the file in target folder if does not exist in source folder" as option? Right now, if you want to achieve 2-way sync of a folder, the easiest would be to do 2 sync jobs without this delete behaviour. Updated files from both sides would be overwritten in target and new file would be added. Deleting a file would still be a hassle problem, since you would need to delete a file on both sides to succeed, but this is as small prpoblem, compared to the current one: Now if I need to add new files/overwrite updated files from both sides at the same time I can't. If I use 2 sync jobs in opposite ways in "save folder" mode, I will produce a lot of duplicates (for updated files). On the other hand, if I use 2 sync jobs with "reflect folder" I will surely loose some files, since the jobe that comes first e.g. PC->Phone will delete new files on the Phone that are not present on the PC, so the 2nd job Phone->PC will have no more new files on the Phone to be sent to the PC.

This is so great, with such feature I am surea lot of people would happily pay for the software (me for sure). Good luck.
