Comment 13 for bug 292077

Hello Kaspar,

You should start up the command prompt (Start -> Run -> CMD), go the the directory in which you've unpacked the fulldbg file (using the "cd" command, e.g "cd c:\inkscape"), and then continue reading the text below (copied from http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D)

If you experience a crash in Inkscape, here is how to report it. For each of the runnable .7z builds in this directory, there is a corresponding InkscapeNNNNN-YYMMDDHHMM-dbg.7z. Unpack the .dbg file from one of these into your inkscape installation directory, and run inkscape with:

gdb inkscape

Then at the gdb prompt:

(gdb) symbol-file inkscape.dbg

Then run it with:

(gdb) run c:\temp\your-file-name.svg

Now perform the steps to reproduce your crash. Once it crashes:

(gdb) bt

and you will get a "backtrace" listing. Send this to us on the bug tracker, the mail list, or best of all, just visit the online group and chat with us there.
