Synchronization not working with .chm files

Here's another quirky FYI posting ...
x²Lite synchronization is NOT working with .chm files.
This problem is not uniqure to x² -
I've only found one (freeware) java utility that identifies identical .chm files with different names.

It seems to be some problem with comparing .chm file dates, sizes & everything except name!?!

If I copy a .chm file to another directory, change the name and run x² Ctrl-F9 sync "Select identical (anything)", x² never finds a match.

synchronization can only check identical filenames. If you have different filenames only the duplicates checker will help see

OK ... thanks for clarifying ...
but I don't understand ...
why "Synchronization options" has all those options?
If I check Identical & modification dates,
x²Lite ought to (or used to?) find files with identical mod dates ... (it seems to me) ...

I tried numerous freeware sync/compare utilities.
WinMerge is supposed to check/find same sized/dated files,
but never found any .chm matches if only the name was different.

Easy Duplicate Finder 2.4 portable seems to do the job ...
Toucan Portable (like WinMerge Portable) was also supposed to find same dated/sized files but did not ...
