Comment 4 for bug 1746652

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.
