Cobian Reflector • Differential and Full Backup Every settings interaction

Just want to clarify the logic in the Dynamics settings page.

Full copies to keep . Say it's set to 3, I assume it will automatically delete the oldest Full backup when a 4th full backup is done?
"Differential/Incremental Make a full backup every"... If set to say 5, will it make the full backup on 5th or 6th backup? (i.e would that be 4 differential then full or 5 differential then full)?
I assume the "Full copies to keep" logic still applies to this setting?

If I want to keep all differentials between full backups do I keep the "Differential copies to keep" setting at 0? I assume if say the "Make full backup every" is set to 10 and the Differentials to keep is say 5, the 6th-10th differential would progressively replace differentials 1-5.

What should happen if the "Differentials copies to keep" is set to the same or a greater value than "Make a full backup every"?

I ask these questions as I'm not seeing the differentials get deleted when the Full Backup every xx value is exceeded. (I do get the full backup).
Want to check I've set it up right before suggesting there is a bug
