I am using the latest windows build of Inkscape (0801032322) but this has been happening for a while. I saved a document as a Cairo PDF which worked fine. Now my save format defaults to Cairo PDF instead of svg? I can see this would be useful to someone who wants a different default format but I expected the format to revert to svg.
Curiously, if I open the pdf I saved and do Save As, it does revert to svg but if I open a new document and do Save As, it still reverts to pdf.
If I save a document as svg and then try a new document, it does show svg so it is generally using 'last used'. I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature but if there is intent to make the save format persistent then shouldn't it have a setting somewhere to disable it? It seems counterintuitive as it currently is.
Thanks,
Tony
