Workflow note

Review copy/update changes before running a sync.

Workflow note

Mirror mode stays explicit and confirmation-based.

Workflow note

Default excludes and custom filters reduce noise.

Preview every planned file change before anything moves.

Keep copy/update sync and mirror cleanup clearly separated.

Review exact-match duplicates without losing context.

Safety and trust

A file tool should explain itself before it acts.

Clear modes, visible previews, and reviewable output matter more than hype when the software touches real folders.
