Requested Native 64bit IrfanView?

[bembelembe]

Will there ever be 64bit native version of IrfanView?
Although the normal 32bit version works without problem on 64bit OS, the growing users of x64 systems always prefer to have the native programmed applications.

64 bit (x64) IrfanView Version?

Is there going to be a 64 bit version of IrfanView in the nearest future?
thanks

There was no response to this earlier thread either, so I merged your thread with this Feature Request.

This is a User-to-User forum, so we know very little of Irfan's plans for the next version.

Is it really needed though? It's not like IrFanView needs to allocate more than 4GB of memory.

Other x64 benefits

x64 support also means triple the registers, and it eliminates the thunking layer, and increases the interoperability with other 64-bit apps (plugins?).
It isn't only about memory allocation, though that isn't worthless in an image viewer, either.

64bit native version of IrfanView

Would love to see a 64bit native version of IrfanView.

Thank you.

Actually, now it cannot allocate more than 2 GB (a little less, actually), and given how IrfanView treats images (converting them in a DIB in memory to work on them), it may be very useful for very large images.

Is there any update about the native x64 build of Irfanview?
