Haven't had any trouble with dialogs, such as mkdir, after upgrading
to 0.7.4, either before or after the "crash" happens.

I will try to find out more about this. Right now I'm at work, but I
will give you this: it seems to happen more often with big move
operations, almost as if the whole system times out while the data is
being moved.

See my thread from june "Unable to open directories". I really don't
know anything more than what it says there. Basically emelfm2 is a
directory viewer for the two startup directories, and cannot do
anything with any of the files or directories. Only slightly more
helpful than a screenshot.

Hmm? I have a toolbar in the middle. I've used that for as long as I
can remember, so if that's not the standard, let's ignore this for
now. Solving the crash solves this anyway.

I can always use my "normal" bookmarks, so it's not a showstopper. If
there was a way to save this and the other things mentioned somewhere
more permanent than the cache file, it would at least be beneficial to
me.
