Ah, this illustrates my point I think. The usual advice is "change default.svg" the user then has to know to either know that it is not already a file (in my case I did a system search and found the one that is installed with inkscape (and requires root permission to write), or have googled the right bit of advice off the internet.
No, none of this is great, or discoverable, but a button at the bottom of properties (or even the new from template dialog), would save having to muck around the file system at all.

C R, I'm not sure what you mean by needing root access. Typically we suggest that users put their custom default or other custom template in their user directory, rather than where the program is installed.
Or is that what you meant by "root access"? As you may recall, I don't always understand tech terminology.
So that I don't have to remember how each different operating system handles file paths, I usually refer them to Preferences > System > User Config, to find the main folder, and then click /templates (or create the folder, if it's not already there).
All best, brynn

It might be good to add a "set as default" option in document properties. It's not easy to find/edit default.svg in inkscape (especially when root access is required to modify it).
Just a thought. -C

Hi everyone, is there a way to change the default units (for measurements, stroke
widths.
etc) permanently? I want to use px but need to change the setting with
every
new document. Best, Christoph
