I just create a new drawing that I leave open. When I want to "save" an object, I group it and then drag a copy over to the other drawing. This other drawing acts like an object pallette that I can use for commun projects. Just drag grouped objects from one to the other.
I'm thinking of addind a feature request to specify a file to open whenever inkscape starts so my "scratchpad" file is always available.

Hello,
This is probably a dumb question, but I couldn't find anything on google. I am always making the same shapes and copying them from an old drawing to a new one, etc. I would like to export each of my custom shapes into an individual inkscape svg file, and be able to use them when making new drawings. How can I do this? I tried putting just one shape in a new drawing and saving it, but it saves the whole drawing, I just want the shape.
Thank you, Gabriel
PS Does anyone also know how to create a sort of palette that contain all my shapes (if I can find a way to export them of course) so I can just click on one to add it without having to open them through the open dialog?
