Assume I have two identical directory tree which I want to synchronize (later).

At first I rename in one of the sub directories
a file from aaa.txt to bbb.txt
and - even worse - I move it to another directory.

Then I want to compare the two directories.

Does PathSync detect
a) the rename
b) the move ?

99% of all sync software is NOT ABLE to detect these kind
of changes. They are dumb and copy stupidly aaa.txt and bbb.txt to the opposite folder.

Is PathSync smarter ?
That would be really unique feature!!
