Hi Friends, Yes, another weird question :-p. I've noticed that next/previous zoom survives after closing and reopening a file. To my simple way of thinking, next/previous zoom is similar to Undo/Redo. In both cases, Inkscape "remembers" what came before and what happened next. Why can't Undo/Redo survive closing and reopening the file? Wouldn't that be awesome?! Could someone give a simple, or very generalized explanation why Undo/Redo can't survive closing the file, but Next/Previous Zoom does?
Dear Brynn,
I can't find anything to suggest it can save zooms. As long as inkscape is closed properly, there's no zoom data saved anywhere.
And this is the same issue with undos. The data needs to be saved somewhere and you have to decide if you want it in the svg file or in ~/.cache/inkscape/ etc. The svg file will explode in size and the cache dir will make undos only work on their original machine.
Making it optional is always popular. Filtering out useless undos also good.
But if we wanted it. It would be a full project. Maybe a GSoC or similar.
