Re: [Mingw-users] Quick View" from the NT-Explorer does NOT work for the new release!

[Bruce D. <bru...@bi...>]

I think this thread came up about a year or more ago, and we decided Quick
View is broken.  I have noticed that, for previous releases, if you added a
version resource (any resource?) to your DLL, Quick View's output would
become readable.  I observed this on several different projects, so I don't
think it was a coincidence.  If that workaround still works, I suggest we
just note it in the FAQ or something.
