unexpected error messages in Win32 nightly build 21453

[Alvin Penner]

first of all, thank you to whomever did this, this is my only source of new builds, and it is very much appreciated, and it was clearly done by someone else. Note the presence of inklang.bat and inkscape.dbg

- however, there are a few problems, the download file says rev 21453 and Inkscapec -V reports rev 21448.
I believe the 21453 is correct.

- there are exit messages, attached here :

C:\Program Files\Inkscape>inkscapec

I believe the extensions randompnt and randompos are obsolete, so they probably just need to be deleted somewhere

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

Confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape rev. 21460 (was ok with rev. 21424).

Removing seemingly dead/unused extension files that are causing a menu problem - See LP #225486
<http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape?view=rev&revision=18512>
Removed entries for removed/dead extensions (randompnt.inx and randompos.inx). Discussion in LP #225486.

[Alvin Penner (apenner)]

the error messages go away if randompos.inx and randompnt.inx are deleted.

however, there are other files that don't belong in the build. Attached is a partial list of some files that are currently being downloaded, but are not part of the current svn:

    attached is a complete list of files which were in the \share\extensions\ directory of the windows nightly build 21460, but which are not present in the svn trunk. These files are all obsolete as far as I can tell. Also, rev 21460 reports itself as rev 21448 in the About screen.

running Windows nightly build 21612, the revision number is now being reported consistently in all cases, thanks !

however, the original problem, the unwanted obsolete files, is still present

Isn't ishmal doing the current win32 snapshot builds? at least that's what I read yesterday...

<http://inkscape.gristle.org/2009-06-17.txt>
[04:22:58] <ishmal> i've been popping in here occasionally to see if the win32 builds are working and/or useful
[04:24:05] <^-> [boobaloo] why they're could be not usefull? there're many people use win32
[04:24:23] <ishmal> nobody's answered, so, i guess they are not important
[04:25:02] <^-> [boobaloo] i don't see your quesrion
[04:25:13] <^-> [boobaloo] didn't*
[04:25:46] <ishmal> i need feedback: do they work. are there problems, etc
[…]
[04:28:13] <ishmal> i make the snapshots on modevia : http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?C=M;O=D
[…]
[04:31:19] <ishmal> cool. i only need to know if they work. like, if you double-click on the icon, and it bitches about a missing dll, etc
