HELLO INKSCAPE - I LOVE WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING! NOW I NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING. I'VE BEEN FOOLING AROUND FOR AWHILE, & READING EVERY POST ON THIS FORUM. I LIKE TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTIONS FIRST, BUT NOW I'M STYMIED. USING 4.2 ON OSX.3.9 I REALIZED THAT WHEN I OPENED A NEW DOCUMENT IT RETAINED WHATEVER FORMATTING TO SHAPE FILL COLOR & LINE I HAD MADE WHILE FOOLING AROUND THE LAST TIME. TODAY, I DRAGGED 4.2 TO THE TRASH & INSTALLED 4.2.2 USUALLY, I LIKE TO TRASH THE PLIST FILE, CACHE, & ANYTHING ELSE I CAN FIND LIKE THIS TOO. OTHERWISE I'VE HAD PROBLEMS CARRY OVER OR EVEN NEW ONES CREATED ( I LEARNED THIS TRICK FROM APPLE SUPPORT FORUM , ERASING & REINSTALLING & UPGRADING OSX SEVERAL TIMES ). BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER FILES OR FOLDERS FOR INKSCAPE OTHER THAN THE APP ICON ITSELF, ANYWHERE ON MY COMPUTER. SO, JUST AS I FEARED, THE VERY SHAPE,COLOR & LINE MODIFICATIONS I PERFORMED LAST SESSION FOOLING AROUND UNDER 4.2 ARE STILL THE DEFAULTS FOR NEW DOCS UNDER THE NEW INSTALLATION OF 4.2.2, NOW, I WENT THROUGH ALL THE MENUS & PREFS I COULD FIND. DEFAULT BUTTONS FOR THE SHAPE TOOLS RESET THE SHAPES THEMSELVES BACK TO ORIGINAL, BUT NOTHING I FOUND WILL RESET THE COLOR OR LINE ASPECTS BACK TO A DEFAULT. SO, IS THERE A WAY TO RESET GLOBAL DEFAULTS FOR ENTIRE APPLICATION AT ONCE ? OR, FAILING THAT, WHERE IS THAT PESKY LITTLE PLIST FILE HIDING ?! - THANX FOR A GOOD TIME, ROCK FEST
