HowTo limit significant figures saved?
I find the default eight, far too many.
This is the necessary minimum for shapes to not be distorted after save/reload even at the highest zoom. If however your needs are different, you can easily change that by recompiling Inkscape after editing line 14 in src/svg/stringstream.cpp.
What do others think, might this be worth adding a hidden user preference?
I think that it would be useful. I think this is kinda what the icon guys have been asking for. Basically, a form of snapping. Though, I'm not sure just doing it when writing out the file is a good idea. I think, if we're going to do it, it should be throughout -- when dragging, resizing, etc.
That would be great, otherwise you will have no idea how your files will turn out. I'd also recommend making this a per-document setting. And instead of specifying a number of significant digits (note that 3120000 contains the same number of significant digits as 0.00546), I think it would make more sense to simply specify the precision (similar to how the grid is already set up).
