It doesn't work, or at least I can't find out how it would work....

May be it doesn't work because it's installed on WAMP ?

1. installed "Noindex External Links" module.
2. In configuration checked "Nofollow"

Result : it doesn't work. (WAMP)

I have several test external links to Drupal , 1 in Menu, 1 in footer, 1 in Article as a field entry.

Drupal 7. 30 version

How are you determining that the module doesn't work? Have you viewed the rendered HTML to look for the rel="nofollow" attribute on the external link?

if the rel="no follow" isn't being printed in your HTML, have you inspected your filters?

Sorry, I'm not able to provide a patch now, but I didn't found another way to approach the author.

Yes, I checked html several times, by firebug and then downloaded a firefox plugin to check it extra time - "rel="nofollow" was not there...

In my testing it seems to work correctly. I suspect a misconfiguration.

Have you checked the filter on the text format in use as asked in previous comment?

You missed step 3:

3. Enable the "Noindex External Links filter" for your filter type.
