Changing default new document in 0.48
I just got Inkscape 0.48 and it isn't keeping my presets. On 0.47 I got it to open my own template on startup. In this version it always loads the paper size, which I don't want. How do I change the default?
Re: Changing default new document in 0.48
Maybe you accidentally lost your prefs file in the upgrade?
Maybe just recreate your custom default?

Re: Changing default new document in 0.48
With Inkscape 0.47, did you replace/rename the default template in the 'share/templates' directory in the program folder of Inkscape? This will of course not survive an upgrade - better save a custom template (with your chosen initial settings for zoom, grid, snap, page size/orientation etc.) as 'default.svg' in the 'templates' directory of your Inkscape user profile folder. The location depends on your OS:mystery wrote:I just got Inkscape 0.48 and it isn't keeping my presets. On 0.47 I got it to open my own template on startup.
- linux/osx:
~/.config/inkscape/templates/default.svg - Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Inkscape\templates\default.svg - Windows Vista / 7:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Inkscape\templates\default.svg
Re: Changing default new document in 0.48
Oh, application data? That's different. I had always replaced the one in program files. I put a modified "default.svg" in the templates folder in program files and that didn't change the default.
