(Solved) Link display

Currently in XYplorer:
  • Hardlinks are not detected at all, they are displayed with the same icon as regular files
  • Symlinks are displayed with the same icon as shortcuts

Meanwhile, in Explorer I have different icons displayed for each,
each type of a link has a different color arrow, with Link Shell Extension installed.
Can this be fixed?

Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | [x] Show icon overlays
Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | [x] Show shortcut overlays

Are these ticked?

Show shortcut overlays was enabled,
Show icon overlays wasn't, and enabling it did fix the issue.

Something like this should probably be enabled by default?

No, because this is a setting that can lead to slowdowns in large lists
