Unified kernel images not folded (linux)

    I have this problem; where I use unified kernel images to boot linux. I have several versions each corresponding to a different kernel. My ESP:/efi/Arch directory has the following files

    amd-ucode.img
    linux-6.1.24-1-lts-8e19e77ea54647069be5f632b0ef26cc-rolling.efi
    linux-6.2.11-arch1-1-8e19e77ea54647069be5f632b0ef26cc-rolling.efi
    linux-6.2.11-zen1-1-zen-8e19e77ea54647069be5f632b0ef26cc-rolling.efi
    refind_linux.conf
    

    These are generated automatically by dracut when initrd is generated; and their naming can't be changed. (It can probably; but downstream workflow depends on this naming to the point where whenever I run a system update, I would have to manually build the kernel image if I can change the naming.)

    Even when I set fold_linux_kernels true in ESP:/efi/rEFInd/refind.conf; these images appear as separate items. Is there a way for me to fold these? And why aren't they folded? When I was using the kernel (when the directory had vmlinuz-linux and initrd-linux entries, instead of the dracut unified boot images of the form linux-<version>-<string> , it was folded appropriately.

    Can you temporarily rename your rEFInd efi file and drop the RefindPlus efi in instead (rename to match the original rEFInd efi name) to see whether this issue exists there as well?
