Hello.
It's really great that this is useful enough to somebody as to ask what are things for.

This works really well. However I have a question which is probably so naive that I'll get shot down for even asking it. On the a la carte page there is an "Inkscape.exe" file at 7.2M and an "Inkscape_stripped.exe" file at 3.2M. I am using the stripped version at present but have used the other version as well. Both appear to work perfectly but the stripped version saves a heap of download time.
What is the difference between them? and are there times when one or the other should be used? If the stripped file can be used all the time then is the other file needed? And should the BEIF refer to the stripped version rather than the unstripped one?
That is true, I added the inkscape_stripped.exe file a couple of days ago and I forgot to add a note about that. It is as new and shiny as the original inkscape.exe file, but this one has no debug symbols therein.
Testers are encouraged to use the unstripped version, as that will ease the debugging process (as per getting a backtrace).
I will now add a note regarding the use of the stripped vs. the unstripped version.
Also, from the next build on (if built, 'cause there is a problem with managed.h), there's gonna be an inkscape_exe.zip which promises to be even smaller.
Bobs nightly builds appear to unzip to yield the Inkscape.exe file.
Yeap. The big ZIP file (Inkscape%y%m%d%H%M.zip) has inkscape.exe and that's it, no stripped version needed.
Now, for the "à la carte" name, what do you all think? I'm not happy with that and I'm open to suggestions. Star points to be awarded to the one that comes up with the best term!
