The "clock" icon indicates which of the two files is the most recently modified (the newer) and the "size" icon indicates which of the two files is the larger.
Now in FC XE if old file is newer, then new one, "Modifiied" is shown bold for old file, but no indication for size. Using icons allow to make all even more clear.

- Option to replace existing file when renaming

If a Rename operation fails because the new name already exists, there is now the option to replace the existing file.

Look at Skip and Replace buttons. They are made as a drop-down buttons in Directory Opus. Currently, in the same FC XE dialog there are 6 buttons displayed and 3 more are called from More options.
