I attempted to create a new document to save as a template with my preferred settings. I cannot overwrite the default.svg file without changing permissions on the /usr/share/inkscape/templates/ folder. This means that I cannot create and save any template and have it stored in the templates folder without changing permissions of that folder.
Current work around is to create a file and store it in my documents folder and open that instead. So from a usability perspective these things needs to be considered: 1. Create a document profiles system that a user can click on preferred settings in the document properties box. 2. Allow the user to create and save templates in an accessible area. Of course a user can do that now, but it is not all that clear on how that should be done especially with the New from Template option. It is a bit confusing. At a minimum an average user should not need root access or have to change folder permissions to create, edit, or save templates. Perhaps create a template SVG file format? 3. Include default document property option settings for program launch in the Global Inkscape Preferences menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu.

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.
