Other Supported File Systems (i.e. ReFS, exFAT, FAT)?

I purchased the pro version a while back and was wondering what file systems Duplicate Cleaner officially supports other than NTFS. I've tested using Duplicate Cleaner Pro 4 on exFAT, FAT, and ReFS (storage space integrity stream mirror), and they all seem to work just as if they were formatted as NTFS - which is awesome if true.

Specifically, I'd like to know if I can use this with ReFS formatted volumes, which implement a subset of NTFS and Win 32 storage API features. If so, which boxes / switches / parameters should I make sure are turned off (i.e. NTFS hard links are not supported on ReFS)?

Duplicate Cleaner uses standard Windows subsystems for scanning and removing files, so in theory anything supported on Windows as a filesystem should work with Duplicate Cleaner.

The exception is the Hardlinks, which are NTFS only.
