Feature Request: warn if selecting unrelated file names for compare and merge #3

I accidentally clicked on the wrong file to compare with. The proposed changes seemed a little odd, but I didn't fully notice until the end when I was offered a chance to delete the identical files. (Thank you for that confirmation warning.) I didn't discard and was able to do some cleanup.

I suggest adding a notification if the file selected as a conflict isn't similar.

Example:
If the original file name is "File-A.md" and the second file is "File-A sync-conflict.md" the comparison would proceed.
If File-A.md and XYZ.md are selected, a notification would appear, such as:
"Please note the file names, File-A.md and XYZ.md do not match, are you sure you wish to proceed?"
Especially since one cannot tell (yet) after the fact which files are being compared, this could be an important warning.
