[user0]

XnView: MP 1.3.1 64bits
OS: Windows 64bit (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Viewer/Browser mode → Tools

Actual behaviour:
clicking on 'Open GPS location in Google Earth...' do nothing

Expected behaviour:
suppose to open coordinates in https://earth.google.com
(same behaviour as 'Open GPS location in GeoHack...')
In case it suppose to open coordinates in Google Earth application - it shall be renamed to 'Google Earth App'

Suggestion

• Simple
  Combine all 'Open GPS location' items into separate sub-menu

  

• Complex
  Metadata - unify menu group

partially fixed in 1.4.0b1:
- bug - new menu items disabled in Viewer mode (works fine in Browser mode)

[xnview]

i can't reproduce, if the image has GPS metadata, the entries are enabled

hm, now I cannot reproduce as well :
- I have removed xnview.ini, xnview has generated it again (always in portable mode) and the issue has gone.
I returned old xnview.ini, but the issue does not occur any more.
- also no issue on new clean 1.4.0b1

it looks like I found the problem:
1. open any image OR start in Browser mode
2. goto File → Open and open any image with GPS data
Viewer mode, check menu Tools → Open GPS location in → all options are disabled

[xnview]

right, will be fixed in beta 2
