Re: [Inkscape-devel] include inkscapec.exe ?

The problem is that Inkscape prints debug messages to stdout. On Linux you can easily see these by starting Inkscape from a shell, but on Windows you won't see them, even if you start Inkscape from the commandline. This prevents most Windows users from using this potentially valuable debugging resource. There are two things you can do to remedy the situation. One is to compile Inkscape as a console application. This doesn't change it's behaviour at all, except that Windows does attach a console to its stdout. The other is to run it through inkscapec.exe. The latter is much easier for non-developers.
