First off: I love this file manager.  Even in this semi-early state I
use it almost exclusively.  Anyway, on to the bugs:

1) With the 20050526 version, if I change any of the "advanced options,"
as soon as I save them, emelfm2 crashes immediately.  On the cl after
the crash is: "[WARN ] no index for menu starter !!"  I don't know what
this means.

2) Speaking of advanced options, Windows right-click behavior doesn't
work quite right.  The default (non-advanced) behavior should be that
right-clicking selects an item, and right clicking something else
DEselects the previous item and selects the new item.  The way it is
now, regardless of whether or not "advanced windows right-click
behavior" is turned on, it leaves any previous selections selected when
selecting a new item.

3) When opening a terminal window with the button on the toolbar in the
currently selected directory, typing "exit" at the terminal causes it
just to freeze up, not exit.  I have to actually click on the "x" or
kill the window explicitly to get it to go away.  Not sure why this
happens, it didn't used to on the original emelfm.

4) In the newest pre-release (but not the one before that), setting
which directories to start in doesn't work.  It always uses whichever
directories you were in when you last quit emelfm2.  In other words, it
always uses the cached value and ignores what's set in the options.

5) Finally: the unpack plugin doesn't seem to work, and it didn't work
in the previous pre-release either.  I'm not sure about anything before
that.

I'm not sure of how many of these you were already aware of/working on,
but I figured it couldn't hurt to point them out.  Hope it helps.

Thanks for the great product, I look forward to the next release
