Well, I guess if enough people ask it happens :)

Folder deletion will be included for 2.1.5, you can try it now if you 
really need it by using the patch attached to feature request #1439244

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1439244&group_id=4050&atid=354050

(or via a checkout of CVS as instructed on the sourceforge GQview project page)

An old patch for color support does exist, I never tested it but have 
attached it to feature request #1229505, in case you are interested. It was 
against GQview 2.0.0.

Feature tracker at sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=4050&atid=354050

As for including color support, there have only been 2 or 3 requests that I 
can remember. The folder delete feature however, is requested at least once 
per month.
