Make shortcut files work...

[TsunamiZ]

How about make shortcut files work? Currently, clicking on shortcut files don't do anything.

Hello !

• Sorry, I tested that again at this moment, a *.lnk file works like a charm when it's the link to an image-file !

• I tested in 1.90 ß-5 and in 1.82.4, no problem !
- I guess that something is missing¦wrong in your settings about the displayed types or so…

I noticed that an image shortcut won't be shown when 'Recognize only by extension' is checked. I don't see any reason for this (from user point of view)
(in 1.82.4 and 1.90B5)

but we need the shortcuts to work for non-images files, too

Hi !

• I tested a *.LNK for a TXT-file, it works nice in Preview…

¤ XnView is mainly an image-viewer, not a file-manager…

accessing other files from xnview works, so links to other files should also work. i dont like having to open another program just to access my shortcuts.
