Re: [Inkscape-user] Changing page size default from A4 to US Letter

Is there a configuration file or preferences location to change the default startup page size of A4 to US Letter (or any other format)? I've looked through the wiki and version .44 preferences without any success. I know that it will save the page, once changed, with the document that you save. But, I was hoping to find a way to change the default when the application is launched. I tend to forget that it uses A4 by default and would prefer to change it globally.

Just change your default template, ~/.inkscape/templates/default.svg (create it as an empty document if it does not exist yet).
