Match Options Offers options for the matching algorithm:
Match exactly both strings must be identical
Match only minimum common available characters
Take0001.new.01 will match with Take0001
Original contains new Media Take0001 will match with 0001
New Media contains Original 0001 will match with Take0001
Case insensitive TAKE0001 will match with Take0001
Ignore characters… if, for instance, /_+- are specified then 12-A/0001 will match
with 12/A_0001
Ignore TimeCodes no checks are made on Original TimeCodes (timestamps).
This allows media with erroneous/lost timestamps to be
replaced with the correct ones or vice-versa.
