Dead favourites can't be removed

There should be a way to remove dead favourites. Or even better, remove them automatically on startup.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a favourite folder
2. Move it somewhere
3. Delete the folder

Actual results: Favourite is still listed and cannot be removed, apart from changing the config file, or recreating the folder in the place where it was initially +faved and then unfaving it.

I cannot reproduce this. I followed the exact steps you mentioned and I discovered not one but two ways of deleting it:

1) You see the dead fav in the list management which can be deleted immediately.
2) Or try going to the fav from menu or button and XY pops up a message that fav doesnt exist and should it be deleted.

or may be i did not understand you properly. Do you really mean fav folders??

I am using 4.60.0022 version.

Looks like I forgot list management, and (2).

I was thinking of the catalog. I was expecting a context menu for catalog items, or the ability to hit "delete" on an item, or something...

Yeah also in catalog it disappears after a restart.

No, it doesn't, I checked again. Not if you move the fav'd folder.

I checked too (3rd time now), and it disappears after restart.

Let me be more accurate.

1) I create a folder x on my desktop.
2) I use ctrl+b to mark x my fav folder.
3) I move x inside another folder y which is also on the desktop.
4) I delete x.
5) I restart and its now there in the catalog.
6) I delete the x from fav folder (from LM or by the pop up method)
7) I restart again.

I dont see it anymore in my catalog.

I use Windows XP SP2 Home edition.

The catalog is work-in-progress. Don't waste your time reporting "bugs" here. A LOT of stuff will be added there until it's time to cry for more...

Please don't have dead favorite links automatically removed on startup, at least without it being optional. I have several favorites that point to dynamic volumes. Sometimes their drive letters exist; sometimes they don't. But I always want the favorites to remain.

Did I say I would?

No, I was just vomiting in my unsolicited 2 cents.
