Extension execution on Windows crashes update
Some time ago we reported that executing extensions on Windows crashes Inkscape. Today I read the Bill Baxter was actually able to run some extension, so I tried again. The LaTeX extension still crashes, Path-along-path too. But the grid extension does not crash.
Details: I am building Inkscape with a slightly modified build.xml so Inkscape always starts with a console window, to easily see debug info. I am going to try without console window now, to see whether that matters. In any case, execution of the grid extension did not spawn a new console window, nor did it pass focus to the already existing console.
Later, Johan

Likely it's because the grid is internal extension, i.e. does not call anything, all is done in Inkscape code.

Grid is internal while LaTeX uses the scripting interface. So they are very different.
I currently believe that the call we're using in Glib is crashing on Win2K. Are you using Win2K?
Bob, are you planning up update the lib bundle to the newly released GTK/Glibs? I'm hoping that'll fix this problem.

Sorry for my ignorance about the Grid extension.
I am using Windows XP SP2. (btw, inkscape's python thingies crash on both my WinXP computers)
Hope the new libs will resolve this issue!
