3375	Lower [hardlink]'s precedence	mooffie	andrew_b	"On my system I noticed that sometimes files (pictures, vids) aren't colored according to their types:

...as seen here, some 'png' files and one 'flv' aren't colored. It turns out that these files have 2 or more links pointing to them (see the ""nlink"" column in the screenshot). I don't know why these files have 2 links. It happens to be an NTFS partition. Maybe it's not uncommon there to find such things.

Now, look at filehighlight.ini:

https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/blob/master/misc/filehighlight.ini

""[hardlink]"" comes before ""[graph]"", which is why (I think) it gets precedence.

So I think we should move the [hardlink] section to the bottom of the file. Why? It demands too much cognitive effort of the user to have colors serve two different purposes (indicating either filesystem-type or application-type). Unless hardlinks are shown in *very* distinctive colors (something no default skin does), common users won't ""get"" them.
