Folks, we're considering a change for future versions of SyncToy where on
conflicts, it will place the losing file in a pre-determined Save Folder so
you can inspect it later. It will also let you know when a conflict is
resolved as such and the loser is saved. It's too late to add this for the
Synctoy 2.0 final release but will be added in a later release.
