Option to replace only Files if same size and date

If merging many folders (for example fotos) it would be very useful to say "replace only files with same size and date" (that would mean delete files in source when moving) and keep both if size or date differs.

Exactly!
That was my problem recently.
I choose to replace files....
and what the program did was REPLACE folders, because my folders has the same NAME, but different sizes, same date, same name, but different Size, now i lost all my info... :'(( 2 years of data lost, all because i thought if i click REPLACE the files will be merge and it have ALL the files of both folder with the same name :'((

OK... Yeah I love the program as is but would cut MONTHS off my organizing project if I could set the 3 criteria as I mentioned before then loosen it as I drag and drop more files then have a ton less to deal with on a one by one basis... Right now I am going through every single file and sometimes accidentally overwriting files I didnt want to.. :(
