'Copy Newer Files Only' Option

When I select a group of files to copy from one window to the next, I would like to have the option to: COPY NEWER FILES ONLY. Is this available?

The Synchronize option helps, but sometimes a like to work with a subset of what synchronize marks. I'm always afraid of overwriting newer files. Window's copy options of 'Yes' or 'Yes to All' just doesn't cut it.

if you use date synchronization with F9 you only select newer files, no worries. If you want to copy a subset of these, just prune out what you don't want. Sticky selection mode may be helpful. Also "within current selection only" check box in the Unselect files dialog is useful in this situation

"Newer files only" option is coming in xplorer2 when you are copying folders with subfolders, where F9 won't help you much
