Re: [Inkscape-user] Keep Inkscape running after closing single or last document (survey)?

my vote would be as follows : - keep the existing SDI with one change - when you choose File | Open, it should check to see if the document has changed, if so, it should ask whether you want to save it - after the prompt has been dealt with, it should load the new document into the existing instance of Inkscape without creating a new instance.

--------- three follow ups:

- if Linux requires a time delay to clear stuff, that should not be a problem , it will still be much less than currently occurring - the main argument against the SDI is the copy/paste problem that previously existed, but that has been fixed - am not a big fan of blank documents, that is what the File | New command is for, and it works very well ...
