Hi
can i change the default page size somehow?
i'm hoping there's a way to change the default page size from 'letter' to 'letter-landscape.' i use it more often, and it'd be nice to be able to just click the 'new' button when i start something.
Re: can i change the default page size somehow?
The default page is the file default.svg in your Inkscape templates directory. (On Windows this will usually be C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\templates\default.svg). So just change the size of this.

Re: can i change the default page size somehow?
alright, i was able to get it to work. it was a little bit trickier to find since i'm not using windows, but i was able to do it just the same. thank you for your help!

if anyone else needs to know how to do this with ubuntu, i went to the file system from the root, and the path was usr/share/inkscape/templates/default.svg.

On OS X, the file appears to be inside the app itself:
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/templates/default.svg
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/templates/default.svg

It would be better to create a new user default template and save it as
- (Inkscape 0.46:) '~/.inkscape/templates/default.svg'
- (Inkscape 0.47:) '~/.config/inkscape/templates/default.svg'
