just a few comments: I am on Windows 10, using the file inkscape-0.92.2pre0-x86.exe
- this has occurred previously as well, so it is not related to MSYS2 in
any way. When I start the install I get the warning message attached. 922startup.png http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/file/n4980625/922startup.png Then I have to click on More Info in order to proceed, and I get the attached screen 922startup2.png http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/file/n4980625/922startup2.png which says "Unknown Publisher". Possibly a bit intimidating for a first-time user.
The "Unknown Publisher" is nothing we can easily fix as it would require us to digitally sign our packages. For this we'd need to buy a code signing certificate (I'm not aware of any free solutions, but I have never done this, so might be wrong). Obviously this would be something worth looking into. Do we have someone with experience on code signing around?
- running from DOS I get the attached error messages (a number of them):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape>inkscape (inkscape.exe:1204): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion 'str != NULL' failed (inkscape.exe:1204): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion 'str != NULL' failed
Note that these messages occur only after the program has been closed, not while it is running.
I noticed that, too. It's only happening for the x86 version and I think we had reports about this issue before (so might even be unrelated to MSYS2). I wonder why it happens for x86 only (library versions in both builds are identical now so they should also behave identical in most cases). I wasn't able to find any functional limitation so far but I'll certainly look into it (the function mentioned is unfortunately used in *a lot* of code so it might be hard to track down).
