a couple of questions about opening files on Windows
Currently, if there is an instance of inkscape running, and I double click an SVG file from the window manager, it opens a new instance of inkscape. Is it possible, somehow, to instruct Windows, or Inkscape, to only allow one instance of inkscape to run and open the file in it?
Second question: can the GTK file open dialog be made to remember the last location a file was opened in, or at least be set to a default location other than the application folder?
thanks,
Michael
I find GTK dialogs on windows slightly annoying. (Although the other half of the time I wish I could get it to show a KDE dialog, but we won't go into that).
I don't know if you can change the default (which is not helpful), but you can add a location to the 'Places' menu. Nice little button underneath. I added the actual location of 'My Documents'

I think this may be possible, and it certainly seems like a reasonable request. Could you please file a feature request in the tracker along the lines of "Add 'My Documents' to default 'Places' in file dialog under Windows"?

I think there may be a deeper Inkscape behavior to change: on Mac OS X the default is also Inkscape's folder though the $HOME variable is set (and from a previous bug report I think it is also the default on linux: someone lost all his files when upgrading Inkscape and I think he was on linux). So I think it may need to be "Change Inkscape default save directory to the home directory of the user".
