only export changed and added files. Paperless determines whether a file
has changed by inspecting the file attributes "date/time modified" and
-"size". If that does not work out for you, specify
+"size". If that does not work out for you, specify `-c` or
`--compare-checksums` and paperless will attempt to compare file
checksums instead. This is slower.
