Hi,
First of all I'm really amazed how good inkscape is!!
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 & regularly have to print to a postscript file. When I go 'File > Print...' in Inkscape & choose 'print to file' it defaults to 'pdf' format (postscript is another option that must be selected) & saving these files direct to the home directory.
Is there a way to get this to default to postscript instead of pdf & to save them to another folder??
Thanks in advance for your response,
'Print to file' can defaults be pre-set??

on linux, there used to be a config file that had many (some undocumented) features to fiddle with :

on windows its in the documents&settings folder; there is an option that sounds good:
org.inkscape.print.ps.destination
no idea what it does, but please report, if you find out
EDIT:
as there is a key in extensions.h, that concerns the default for printing
there might be a destination key too, somewhere.
Another solution might be to "install" a pdf Printer that can be configured external of Inkscape

Code: Select all

#define SP_MODULE_KEY_PRINT_DEFAULT SP_MODULE_KEY_PRINT_PS
Defines the default printing to use.
