In reference to number 2 above. I went back and reread the help manual. I now see that when selecting Save As from the File menu, Templates shows up as one of my places (I use Thunar file manager and it shows on the left). When selected, it appears to save the file in /usr/share/inkscape/templates/ folder. Again, this was not super obvious because my eyes don't always look at the places option when saving a file. I compared some other software packages to see how they handle this:
LibreOffice - Save as dialog has the option to save the file as a template (.ODT) the file format drop down. Scribus - Save as Template in the File drop down menu. Krita - Create template from image in the File drop down menu. Gimp - Create template in the file drop down menu It may be helpful to create an option in the File drop down menu that is more explicit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746652 Title: Document property profiles Status in Inkscape: New Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is less a bug and more a usability suggestion. I noticed with Inkscape 0.92, display and measurement units default to mm instead of pixels. Previous versions defaulted to pixels, if I remember right. I rarely use mm in my work, so I have to change this every time. There is no way that I know to change the default document properties. Each time a new Inkscape document is opened, I have to select the properties required for the project. If I create multiple documents that require the same properties, I still have to go through the same selection process each time. It would save time if I could create a document property profile to save for future use. If this were implemented, I could then open the document properties box, select the profile and click apply. This would improve workflow by saving extra clicks to setup a document. Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Inkscape 0.92.2+68~ubuntu16.04.1 I expected the default units to be pixels. Instead they were mm. This caused unexpected dimensions in my drawing until I realized the default units were different in Inkscape 0.92 from previous versions. There is currently no way that I know to change the default document properties.
