I use Inkscape to create files for my Wishblade. There is an entire
group of scrapbookers who use it for this purpose, we have figured out
how to set our default view to landscape, but is there a way to change
the display mode to Outline as a default?
Thank in Advance

Not yet, Inkscape always starts in normal mode. But why do you need
it? We can enable it, but I'm afraid that it will result in some
people becoming confused that their documents look "wrong" after they
changed mode to outline and forgot about it. (Don't laugh, this kind
of thing happens all the time with other kinds of settings.)

We are creating DXF files that we convert to cut lines in GSD files.
Wishblade and Craftrobo personal media cutters are the machines that use
the GSD files and we can to cut connected letter titles with mats and
die cuts for many purposes, mostly scrapbooking, card making, stencil
dies that are used for making t-shirts, window clings for business and
cars and even stencils for use when etching glass. Aaron Spike changed
the program early this year for us to save as a DXF file type, we
absolutely love him for this(Thanks again, Aaron) and since that time
more and more files are created and shared using Inkscape rather that
expensive software that does not come with the machine. We are used to
looking at lines, since that is what we want to cut. Just wondering, if
we could set it, so it would stay that way, for us it would be a nice
feature.

This sounds like a rather specialized use to me. So if you want, I can
add a setting that would tell Inkscape to always start in outline
mode, but this setting will be available only by editing the
preferences.xml file. Do you want me to do this?

OOH, yes please that would help us so much, I have already changed my
default document to open in Landscape mode.
Just let me know what I need to do.
Thanks There will be lots of wishbladers who use Inkscape jumping up and
down!

OK, done, see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes045#Outline_mode:
* To cater for specialized uses, such as preparing input for personal
media cutters, Inkscape now has an option to start in the Outline mode
upon launch. To enable this, add the following line to your
preferences.xml file:
<group id="startmode" outline="1"/>
placing it after the <group id="options"> opening tag.
This functionality is in SVN and should be available in the next daily
build as well as in 0.45.
