Hi... I recently installed version .45. I have a weird windows xp glitch where my /application/data/xxxx directory is readonly... I haven't figured out a decent fix, so I'm trying to work with it as is. So far, most things are ok. Is there a config file where I can change the Inscape location for saving all the preferences etc? I need to specify something other than the default "documents and settings/curt/application data/inkscape"... Appreciate any help!
Curt - new Inkscape user - very impressed too!

Are you running Windows Vista? If you are, run inkscape as administrator (right click, it's an option... or you can set it permanently in the settings).

No, running windows xp. For some reason my applications data directory is locked... tried pretty much everything. I'm hoping there's a config-type file that specifies where to save preferences etc. Inkscape runs ok currently, but no user pref's are saved, recent files, etc.

Am fairly sure its hardcoded, but it shouldnt be too hard a patch to change.

Guess not... that application data dir is supposed to be always writable. That's why it's used instead of the program directory for example.
