Hello, just want to first say this software is fantastic and I use it all the time.
I'm hoping you can implement a feature the looks at the Selected Episode side and Selected File side and highlights words that match on either side. I think this would make it much easier to quickly scan through to determine if the episodes on either side actually match each other.

Hi readonly 😊
I'll add this to the "ToDo" list - I like the idea. Maybe I'll add a button to sync left and right as an option. 👍

Thanks I appreciate that. To add, it would make sense to ignore the show name and season number and episode number when highlighting, so that it's just the episode name that gets compared and highlighted.

For now I'm thinking of adding the option to "sync Selected Episodes and Selected Files search".
Filenames are quite often a mess (the reason why autodetect is already quite a challenge and not 100% fool proof) to determine show name and episode number.
Additionally, highlighting only a part of the filename or selected episode comes with potential performance issues.
I'll keep the additional option to exclude show name and episode number in mind - just in case I run into an easy fix.
But for now I'll aim at syncing "Selected Episodes" and "Selected Files" as a whole. I hope you don't mind 😉
