Description

Please could you consider showing each files last modified dates on the conflict screen as often in my case I need to chose the older file (but depending when the latest file was created/modified), currently I need to use the "Show in Folder" button to always confirm which fine I need to keep as I can see the modified dates from each file in Windows Explorer.

I've posted some more details on the Syncthing forum and was asked to lodge this via Github, more details including screenshot can be found at the following URL:

Cheers!

Research direction
Investigate the SyncTrayzor codebase to locate the conflict screen UI files. The user requests displaying the last modified date of each conflicting file. Look at how file information is retrieved and displayed in the conflict dialog. The forum post (https://forum.syncthing.net/t/conflicting file last modified date filed request on both files/12959) contains additional context. Ensure the date is formatted appropriately for Windows locale.
