V1.23 installed on Win 10 x64 v.10.0.15063. Workaround: Right click -> "Copy Link Address" -> paste in browser.

Sidequestion: 32-bit apps aren't so stable on 64 Windows. Is it possible to compile it as native 64 app? How?

otsaloma commented 6 years ago

That's a bug in the version of the GTK+ toolkit used, link buttons don't work on Windows. I expect that will be fixed in GTK+ in time, or might be already in a newer version.

64-bit compilation might be possible, it's not really about nfoview, but about the dependencies. I don't remember if there are 64-bit versions of Windows binaries of dependencies available, but can check next time when building.

What do you mean by 32-bit apps being unstable?

Achaean commented 6 years ago

Oh...I see! Then we'll wait, for the GTK+ bugfix. :-)

For the need of x64 binaries, I meant that running x32 apps on Win64, means that they'll run through WOW64 and for telling you the truth, I was never entirely trusted the compatibility layers. WOW64 is what NTVDM was for previous Windows releases. Although it's a must, it lucks behind, in terms of performance and stability. Anyway! Just an optional feature request. Nothing of great importance!

Happy Holiday Season!!! :-) G.

OK, will keep the 64-bit in mind. Happy Holidays!
