as they tend to be an excuse for dodging hard design decisions. I agree that it would be a shame to loose bookmarks and preview, but then I don't think many Windows users will know what they're missing.
By the way, in 0.46 they will also be missing some conveniences I recently added:
* The list of folder shortcuts in the Open dialog includes the folder with Inkscape's SVG examples for easy access. Similarly, the Save dialog has a shortcut for the user's own templates dialog making it easy to save the current document as a template (if saved as default.svg, it will be loaded every time you run Inkscape or create new document with Ctrl+N; with any other name, it will be added to the File > New submenu).
We're getting a lot of user questions on how to save templates, and it was a pain to direct them to go to the crazily convoluted and platform-specific filepaths for that simple operation. So I added this bookmark which solves the problem simply and nonobtrusively. Too bad it's not going to work on Windows with native filedialogs.
Easy access to the examples folder is also a very important selling point, especially for newbies. As it is now, I'm sure many users don't even suspect that we have such a folder.
