Package: inkscape
Version: 0.43-0.0etch1
Severity: normal
Inkscape is great! my only complaint is that it always launches by
default with A4 paper (yes, i'm an American... sigh).
when i change /usr/share/inkscape/default.svg by hand, new versions of
inkscape overwrite my changes.
it seems like there are enough clues available in debian to pick the
system's preferred default paper size and set up
/usr/share/inkscape/default.svg with symlinks or something during
package installation.
possible options include:
* LC_PAPER (locale's paper settings)
* debconf:libpaper/defaultpaper (at the moment only requested by libpaper1)
* /etc/papersize or /usr/bin/paperconf
These last two come from the libpaper1 package, which maybe would mean
inkscape would have an additional dependency (though it's not a
heavyweight one).
Even fancier would be for inkscape to decide which package is the
default at runtime using /usr/bin/paperconf or LC_PAPER or something
similar. This would let different users on the same system have their
own preferred default paper sizes just by setting environment
variables.
Thanks for maintaining inkscape!
