The setting "copy comments with files" influences not only common file operations but significantly also the way of synchronizing of the files, therefore the control of this setting should be available in sync dir list to change it immediatelly according to situation or user preferences.

I already forgot that I have suggested this, but the need is recurring in practice. I'm just going to add:

Configuration > Options... > Operation > File comments: 🔲 Copy comments with files
The setting works well in syncdirs and find duplicates as well. It is little bit dangerous to cancel mark because man must not forget to mark it back again.
In case of find duplicates it is possible to change setting anytime, before/after search and selection is finished or just before deleting, because configuration is available. In case of syncdirs the configuration is not available in syncdir window, so must be set before syncdirs, therefore it would be nice to have setting in syncdir window to set it in place. If setting would be separated from that in configuration, it would control sync process only and user would not remember to change it back again.

That seems probable.
