Hhmm.... Thanks for the info, Martin.
Yes, I've never been able to undo or redo in a newly opened file.
But regularly in newly opened files (typically I use Open Recent, but
sometimes I open directly by double-click in the file manager) I can press
the ` key (previous zoom) or Shift + ` (next zoom) and the zoom changes.
Although now that I pay closer attention, in some files, it's only
alternating between 100% and 206%. In some files, there have been several
zoom steps in a newly opened file, but I can't seem to find one at the
moment.
I could attach a file for you, although I'm not sure if that's the best
troubleshooting step? Let me know if anyone wants to investigate, and if
you might need any files. This is Windows 7, 64-bit and Inkscape 0.91
32-bit. I could easily test in 64-bit.
(I've only gotten into the habit of using ` and Shift + `, and also 3 key,
since the Q key "feature" which I learned really was a bug, was fixed.)
Otherwise, my question has been answered :-)
Thanks again,
brynn

Dear Brynn,
I can't find anything to suggest it can save zooms. As long as inkscape
is closed properly, there's no zoom data saved anywhere.
And this is the same issue with undos. The data needs to be saved
somewhere and you have to decide if you want it in the svg file or in
~/.cache/inkscape/ etc. The svg file will explode in size and the cache
dir will make undos only work on their original machine.
Making it optional is always popular. Filtering out useless undos also
good.
But if we wanted it. It would be a full project. Maybe a GSoC or
similar.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
