Apart from the fact that it uses invisible data (the hashes) to determine if the file has changed, rather than the visible modify timestamp of the designated file being later than the visible modify timestamp of the copy in %appdata%/toxaris.

I can see that the hash can be used avoid superfluous copying, thereby saving a tiny amount of disk wear-and-tear and a blink of an eye in time when the Recreate temporary S/R XML each use is checked. But if the options are as I have them. then surely the hash is irrelevant. I thought the whole point of that configuration was to give the user absolute control over the copying.

And if it doesn't validate - then does (should) it show an error message?
