Comment 15 for bug 1659172

Inkscape.com vs inkscape.exe: I didn't know this before, but apparently ".com" is a type of executable (a DOS executable), just like a ".exe" is an executable. Before when I noticed the process I was just assuming it was the name of the thread/process, like a website, kind of like how website names are frequently used for namespaces in java.

When I call "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape" from the command line, it opens only the inkscape.exe as a GUI (returning "FontLister::get_best_style_match(): can't find family: Sans" at the command line).

With the command line argument (adding -V at the end) it executes inkscape.com, which apparently then executes inkscape.exe. If I run ["C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe" -V] at the command line (i.e. explicitly calling the .exe), then it still sometimes freezes, but never returns the version, whether or not it stays open in the background.

I haven't used the GUI for this version of inkscape much yet, and haven't explicitly noticed it running in the background after closing it. So now, I tried opening and closing the GUI and eventually it does stay open running at high cpu in the background even though it "closed".
