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'

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
