Beyond the Basics Default Zoom Level Can't Be Changed

    Hi all,

    I read here that Inkscape's default zoom level can be changed by saving a new default template. The post is 12 years old.

    But this doesn't work any more. Is it a bug? If so, where do I report it?

    Here's a pair of screenshots showing the problem/issue...

    Well, there would be a screenshot here, but I don't see any way to include one. Please use your imagination instead. :)

    It works for me in Inkscape 1.1

    However, I have found if you have a totally blank unsaved document and then try to save template it might not pickup on it.

    I think if you start a new document. Zoom to the level you require.

    Then file>save as - any filename you like 

    Then file>save template ( check set as default template - optional )
