Preamble in Windows version crashes #2

Closed thatlittleboy closed 5 years ago

Thanks for taking your time to work on this extension. I am on Windows 10, 64 bit running Inkscape 0.92.2.

In the LaTexText(GTK3) window, I can't seem to open the window/dialog to search for Preamble file directory, as it crashes instantly after clicking it.

Oh yes, I think there were some important files missing in the final windows installer package. This should be fixed now with the latest 0.1.1 release. https://github.com/seebk/LaTeXText/releases/tag/v0.1.1

Please check and report back if this solves your your problem

Yes, it works nicely now. Thanks!

There's another minor issue which I forgot to mention previously. During installation of LatexText (either as a fresh installation or as an update from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1) for Windows, the default folder would always be ./Inkscape/New Folder.

Installation of the files into this folder won't work (the installation completes, but Inkscape does not recognize the extension), and I would have to copy the contents from New Folder back to the parent Inkscape directory, before the extension would work. It would be nice if you could fix this as well.

That's strange.... What is the full path proposed by the installer on your computer?

For me it is always "C:\Program Files\Inkscape".

I am installing to "D:\Program Files\Inkscape", but when I choose Inkscape from the dialog, the installer always suggests "D:\Program Files\Inkscape\New Folder". I will try to replicate this on my desktop (running Windows 10 as well) over the weekend and report back, hopefully with a .gif of the issue. Thanks for the efforts so far!

I am facing the same problem on my desktop (windows 10, 64 bit, Inkscape 0.92.2). I am doing a fresh installation of Inkscape and LatexText.

As you can see from the picture, the Inkscape folder is clearly selected, but a New Folder is appended onto the end. This happens for any folder I choose, not just the Inkscape one.

If I then click 'Ok' with the Inkscape folder selected, I get this, as expected (but this is wrong, since it would be installed into the wrong folder).

Ok, think I have an idea where this "New Folder" is coming from. I will try to fix it soon.

I have a similar problem: On Extensions/ Render when I hit "Text with Latex (GTK3)" I can't seem to open the window/dialog, as it crashes instantly after clicking it.

I'm running Inkscape 0.92.3 over Win10, 64bit but I'm already using the latest release of LatexTex..

Any error messages you get when the windows closes or after is is closed?

The "New Folder" does not appear anymore when I build an installer with the latest Git head. So I will close this.
