 Handling of 0 byte files

William:
Suggestion for improvement on V1.9 SyncEXP, on the "Newer File" option.
 

Consider this scenario:
 
If I set conditions like "Newer file in host folder" to be "HOST -> MIRROR" and "Newer file in mirror folder" to be "MIRROR -> HOST".
 

What if the file content at host or mirror get deleted and save to 0 byte.
This will also destroy the other copy of file as well. Considering enhance this option to put some kind of restriction like "only file is different than x KBytes or bytes" then it will sync.
 

Make sense?



SyncEXPERT:
If a file is deleted, it becomes "exists only in XXX" condition.
 
It will have your kind of problem if it is of 0 byte size. It usually happens on log files. You may just set to skip *.log file type.
 
If we add your suggested feature, it will slow down the sync process drastically, considering there may be hundreds of thousands of files to be compared in a tast.
