Re: [Inkscape-devel] Feedback on 0.38 Release
Is there any way to set Letter as the default paper size? I also want to get rid of the 'pt' units -- It would certainly be better to recall those settings instead of changing them on every session of Inkscape.
We need to support arbitrary new document templates. It's been in our plans for some time.

In response to this I unearthed the templates discussion on the wiki. It can be found here: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ClipTemplates
I think we should figure out a way to support this. I proposed 2 concepts for our initial templates support on the wiki. Please see those and see if you wanna help implement these. They both should be fairly straightforward.
1. default document that is opened when you start inkscape or select New Document.
2. Open Template... Menu option that is a sorted list of all svg templates in system level share/templates and user level ~/.inkscape/templates.
There are some decisions that need to be made on this and I posted it to the wiki so that this proposal can be modified: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ClipTemplates

I'm trying to use Wiki as best I can but I'm posting the gist of my suggestions here too.
Rather than creating complicated menus I tweaked the proposal to suggest a menu item "New from Template... Ctrl+Shift+N" (or similar) that would show a new image dialog that would hide the unecessary implementation details from the user and present a list of preset sizes, with a name and their dimensions as well as the option to create documents with a new custom size. This should prove simpler (for the user) than 'Open Template'
File New would remain as is, creating a new document based on the current default template and would do so quickly without asking any further questions.

Heh. A4 -is- letter size in most places. In a lot of apps with such constraints, the "Page Properties" usually lets someone pick the paper size and Portrait/Landscape. This is a profile properties issue, What is the default for the particular -user- ?
