1) Is it possible to indicate files and folders that have hardlinks and symlinks? Currently there is no indication, but with Link Shell Extension their icons get green/red arrow in the corner in Explorer.
2) Is it possible to always display entries from the shell context menu on rclick menu when drag-and-dropping files or folders? Currently to access these entries you need to click "Shell context menu" entry, which is very inconvenient if you use it frequently.
3) How to add the current tab to the Catalogue by drag-and-drop? In explorer you just grab a folder icon located to the left of the address bar and drag onto the favourites section. Doesn't work here.
4) In Color Filters, how do I exclude certain file extensions like url or lnk from the rule?
5) Is there a setting to enable auto-updates to the network folders? I have View->Auto-refresh enabled, but this doesn't seem like it, since the network folder is always out of date. In Explorer I never set any custom settings but same folder seems to be always updated

2. Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | [ ] Custom drag and drop context menu
5. Configuration | Refresh, Icons, History | Auto-Refresh | [x] Include network locations

No time for the other points atm...

1.

This color filter will color all files with more than one hard link: 4. What is the rule?

Rule currently is: "ageC: >= 1 d AND /f"
I need it to work on files only, but not on utility files, like .lnk or .url, these need to be excluded.

Is it possible to limit a color filter rule to a particular folder?

If I open more tabs than there is space to display them, it seems like the ones that don't fit into the window cannot be closed - there doesn't seem to be any visible way to scroll the tabs, so I can't close the ones which are offscreen even after selecting them through the list - how to solve this? I can scroll to select the tabs with the mousewheel, but the tab list doesn't move to show the current tab, it is still offscreen so I can't do anything with it.

This is only possible with an advanced (and a bit weird) filter syntax, and I had to add an inverted filter syntax (filternot), so this will work only from the next beta version onwards:

Yes, to a folder including all subfolders. Again with a filter: Both can be combined:

Tick this:
Configuration | Tabs | Show 'Tab List' button
Then you can select an invisible tab via popup menu. Then close it.

No, I have this selected already.
The issue is that even after you select the tab via list, the tab it still stays offscreen.
So I can't close it. Well, I can via a shortcut, but I can't close it by clicking the X button on the tab, since I can't see the tab.
Expected behaviour is when the tab is selected, tab list would be scrolled to make the tab visible.
Currently it doesn't do that.

Could you show a screenshot of the situation?

Example
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9dLny ... sp=sharing

Open a bunch of tabs. Now you can't select a portion of them via tab panel interface because they are offsecreen,
since tab list has no scrolling controls of any kind.
Select the last tab via tab list. Can't see it or close it via tab panel, since it is still offscreen.
New tab "+" button is also offscreen.

Yes, no scrolling available at the moment. Might something later...

Tip: the dropdown button on the left end has a context menu (right-click) that lets you close the current tab.

Is there an option to save view settings for a location, instead of for tab?
So that upon switching location the view settings would also switch to the ones which you set up for that location.

I don't see any option to automatically save settings like in Explorer.
Even with "Enable Folder View Settings" checked, the settings are still only saved for a tab, not a particular location.

Do I need to additionally use "save folder view" command every time on each folder I change, with my changes being discarded if I forget to do it?

Automatic saving like Explorer is not supported. (It's one of the reasons why explorer is so slow.)

There is even a toolbar button for it, so it's only a single click away

Apart from that the same view can be saved for subfolders and even for different locations
