was just dling it myself, but i guess josh beat me to it. :)
the dll will only fix loading, not saving. Saving is done currently using a pipe to gzip, which would be usable on windows if we packaged the gzip exe with IS, except I cant get the pipe to work from IS. It works fine in a standalone piece of code, but falls over in the extension code.
I dont see how svgz ever makes it into the drop down list, as the routine that builds the list from the extensions specifically ignores it, (looks like a c+p error to me but I'm assured it works on linux so am kinda confused.)
the thing with the pipes means that none of the external extensions will work on windows as far as i can tell, which is something we really need to fix.

I made a new build with the replaced libxml2-2.dll, as indicated by John Cliff. Someone please give it a try, to make sure it:

It has one complaint (not dll, just a message in the log window)...
** (inkscape.exe:3132): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The
file
is being opened as SVG.
But it still opened it (it seems to be a useless warning in this scenario since the file opened fine though).
- Can load and save a .svgz on Windows
It does load, with the warning as above, however it is not saving as .svgz... It is not in the dropdown of formats in the "Save As"
dialog,
and if I choose for it to detect by extension it appends .svg after
the
.svgz.
My guess is that it will work fine to save, with a little tweaking though, since it can open the files. AWESOME!
Just curious, would the svgz files be "format specific"? Meaning can they be either Inkscape SVG or regular SVG, or is it always just
regular
that's g-zipped? Basically, would there be a benefit to ditch
Inkscape
SVGs in favor of the SVGZs?

I'm not really sure what needs to be done. I would guess that .svgz isn't being found in the Extension database? This might be a question for Ted.
