add the ability to sync from device to pc.

it would be nice to set a path (which we can already do) and then have a sync button that will not touch files on pc, but will transfer only files that are not in the default folder. as it stands, if i copy over the contents of a folder, all the files that are already present on pc get copied over again, which isnt really desired.

so i guess that it would be beneficial to have the ability or a setting for adb explorer to "copy only new files to pc". and if the source directory (on the device deleted all the files and starts a new list of files, then adb explorer should not touch any files already present on the pc and just copy the new files only to pc.

@Alex4SSB great work on this app. it works great so far. i have transferred tb's of data with it so far. but would be great to have the ability for it to only copy files that arent already in the pull path

So adding it in the settings can be fine, but I just realized that File Explorer already has something better, so I think I'll go with this mechanism:

Something related I've wanted to implement for some time now - see #115

When I select Skip (within ADB Explorer after selecting Pull), it simply skips the whole folder name and doesn't do it file by file as Windows?

I used the latest version [Beta 0.8.24121] as of Jan 2025

@Rodd15 Yes, currently the comparison is done only for the top level items, in the future I too would like it to have all the options that the dialog in File Explorer has.
