 Changelog v1.7
 --------------
 Display only those view filter buttons that are actually needed
@@ -55,7 +66,7 @@ Changelog v1.3
 Maintain and load different configurations by drag&drop, load-button or commandline
 New function to delete files (or move them to recycle bin) manually on the UI (without having to re-compare):
 	Deleting folders results in deletion of all dependent files, subfolders on UI grid (also no re-compare needed)
-	while catching arrow situations and allowing to resolve them
+	while catching error situations and allowing to resolve them
 Improved manual filtering of rows: If folders are marked all dependent subfolders and files are marked as well 
 (keeping sort sequence when "hide filtered elements" is marked)
 Comprehensive performance optimization of the two features above (manual filtering, deletion) for large grids (> 200.000 rows)

+Compare both sides
+Comparer les deux listes
+Compare by \"File size and date\"\n----------------------------------------\nThis variant evaluates two equally named files as being equal when they have the same file size AND the same last write date and time. Notice that the file time is allowed to deviate by up to 2 seconds. This ensures synchronization with the lower-precision file system FAT32 works correctly.\n\nWhen \"Compare\" is triggered with this option set the following decision tree is processed:\n\n                    -----------------\n                    |Decision tree|\n                    -----------------\n               ________|___________\n               |                                      |\n file exists on both sides     on one side only\n     _____|______                      __|___\n     |                     |                     |          |\nequal             different            left      right\n          _________|__________\n         |                  |                   |\n  left newer  right newer   same date\n\nAs a result 6 different status can be returned to categorize all files:\n\n- exists left only\n- exists right only\n- left newer\n- right newer\n- different filesize (but same date)\n- equal\n\n\nCompare by \"File content\"\n----------------------------------------\nAs the name suggests, two files which share the same name are marked as equal if and only if they have the same content. This option is useful for consistency checks rather than backup operations. Therefore the file times are not taken into account at all.\n\nWith this option enabled the decision tree is smaller:\n\n                    -----------------\n                    |Decision tree|\n                    -----------------\n               ________|___________\n               |                                      |\n file exists on both sides     on one side only\n     _____|______                      __|___\n     |                     |                     |          |\nequal             different            left      right\n\nAs a result the files are separated into the following categories:\n\n- exists left only\n- exists right only\n- different\n- equal
+Comparaison par \"taille et date\"\n---------------------------------------------------\nCette variante identifie deux fichiers identiques lorsqu'ils ont la même taille ET la même date de création. (Note : l'heure est calculée à plus ou moins 2 secondes.)\n\nLorsque \"Compare\" est lancé avec cette option, l'arbre de décision est évalué comme suit :\n\n                                                      -------------------------\n                                                      | Arbre de décision |\n                                                      -------------------------\n                           _______________________|___________________\n                           |                                                                                   |\n         le fichier existe des 2 cotés                                             Sur un seul côté\n        __________|_____________                                                 ____|___\n        |                                              |                                               |              |\n  identique                                 différent                                   gauche      droite\n                    __________________|__________________\n                    |                                  |                                    |\n  plus récent à gauche     plus récent à droite     différents (mais même date)\n\nRésultat : 6 états permettent de différencier tous les fichiers:\n\n- existe seulement à gauche\n- existe seulement à droite\n- plus récent à gauche\n- plus récent à droite\n- différents (mais même date)\n- identiques\n\n\nComparaison du \"contenu\"\n------------------------------------\nComme indiqué, deux fichiers de même nom sont considérés comme identiques si, et seulement si, leur contenu est identique. Cette option sert plus aux contrôles de cohérence qu'aux opérations de sauvegarde. Pour cette raison, la date de la dernière modification des fichiers n'est pas pris en compte.\n\nAvec cette option, l'arbre de décision est plus simple:\n\n                         -------------------------\n                         | Arbre de décision |\n                         -------------------------\n                     __________|_____________\n                     |                                             |\n le fichier existe des deux côtés      seulement d'un côté\n         ______|______                             __|___\n         |                        |                           |          |\n   identiques        différents           à gauche    à droite\n\nRésultat : une répartition dans les catégories suivantes:\n\n- existe à gauche seulement\n- existe à droite seulement\n- différents\n- identiques
