Since the "svg:" prefix change, there was another bug with metadata where every time you opened an SVG, it would add another empty "metadata" tag. I've fixed this now, but please check your files. icons.svg, for example, had like 40 extra metadata's in it. ;)

As for metadata, why not save users time by autofilling some fields in document info? There could be some fair defaults like name of creator, license... And date could be automatically inserted on first save of the file.

Good idea. I'm not sure where to get user name from under windows or OSX, but the other is quite possible. Can you submit an RFE so I don't forget this?

I think OSX should be the same as on "generic" Unix in that regard. Windows requires a bit more twiddling and fetching several object handles.

Otherwise, we could make a simple wizard that asks a user a few questions upon install (much like the gimp for windows does) as to what defaults should be used, licensing, name, etc (for use in the metadata fields).
I've added to the RFE. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1095357&gr...

For this task there are g_get_user_name() ang g_get_real_name() from Glib.
