The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

Re: Inkscape 1.3.x is very slow to import PDF file

Thanks for the reply and the links. I am sorry for the confusion in my previous email. What I really wanted were the Inkscape binaries between 1.2.2 and 1.3. Now things have moved a bit to the root. I got the 1.3-dev commit binaries from https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/pipelines. Although there are no binaries for every commit, I also tried my best to narrow the problem down to the commit between 3e2761dd (2022-08-23) and 89b3c1d1 (2022-08-22). I cannot find a binary for Windows between the two commits. 89b3c1d1 commit works fine, while 3e2761dd commit shows the problems I reported in the original post.

Inkscape 1.3.x is very slow to import PDF file

Dear Inkscape developers, I should report the following potential bug in GitLab, but I cannot do so because I am unable to register an account on GitLab. I am asking the question on the forums and the chat channel. I do not get a solution. The problem is reported and discussed here: https://inkscape.org/forums/beyond/13-and-131-are-very-very-slow-opening-a-… and I think https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/the-pdf-file-does-not-open-in-version… reported the same problem. I also searched the issues on GitLab, there are several similar reports, for example https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/8503 and https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/4597#note_1568155608. The OS I am running Inkscape on is Windows 10 and 11 Home Edition. I have encountered this issue with Inkscape 1.3, 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. Inkscape 1.2.x works fine. I hope someone here can reproduce this problem and fix it. Best, Jinsong
