CFA/CFI seems not work for .lnk files

I have met 2 problems when applying CFACFI to lnk files:

(1) It seems that CFI cannot work on .lnk file, since it is always displaying the icons owned by its linked target (whether it is a file or folder).

(2) the Patterns (like * for filename pattern) also seem not work for .lnk file for both CFA/CFI, while just specify extension like "lnk>..." works fine.

* Things get no changed when I tick the "Resolve LNK-files before matching" or not

How it could be fixed? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

BTW, it seems that the matching Patterns in CFA/CFI would only work for filename string, for example, we cannot specify a pattern through extra tags of item, right?

1) Well, that's the way it works. LNK files are treated here just like their targets. IMO that's what most users expect to happen.

2) Correct.
