On Windows, they're usually stored in Documents and Settings/USER/ Application Data/Inkscape/preferences.xml

Open that in any text editor and look for a <group> with the id of "dialogs". That should then contain the different locations of the various dialogs.

Its in the preferences.xml which on windows is in \Documents and settings\your username\application data\inkscape If you open preferences.xml in a text editor its somewhere around line 330. (group called documentoptions) just edit the x and y values.

Help someone please.

I've been using inkscape on a laptop with dual monitor output. My main window is on the default desktop, and all option etc. windows are on the extended desktop (windows xp). I'm now working at home and don't have a second monitor. Unfortunately I forgot to move the "document properties" dialog back onto the default monitor before shutting down inkscape. So now when I try and open up the dialog it doesn't appear.

Where are the settings saved for these dialog boxes so I can "edit" it back onto the default monitor? There doesn' t appear to be an "open dialogs on default monitor" option.

Many thanks

Mark
