In Gimp and Scribus I can change the rulers on left side and top to show dimensions in inches. Is this possible in Inkscape?

menu 'File > Document Properties…' on the 'Page' tab under section 'General' choose your 'Default units'

This only works for (me in) the currently open document... there is no way (that I could find) to make this change for basic new documents... (no provision for it in the Inkscape Preferences, in the same menu (File). Wondering if this is truly so? & if so, why (probably a dumb question here, but you sometimes don't know unless you ask)?
