Hello! Toying with patterns, I was able to add a small one (a tiny circle) to Fil & Stroke. The attempt worked for the moment. After an Inkscape restart the pattern had disappeared. I learned that I did not have permission to open the file. Checking my credentials confirmed my standing as an administrator. I subsequently did an ownership of files and folders (full control system and administrator). Still I received the message warning me that I did not have permission to open the file. This is perplexing! What then would be the means to open this patterns.svg file? As you can understand from the words above, I would like to add a custom pattern to Inkscape's stock id patterns.
The solution to my little problem was simple as I authorized myself as a user; that was it, and I was able to manipulate the patterns.svg file. But now I have an annoying problem: my patterns again... In v. 0.92.4 I lost all patterns and found no way to retrieve them through preferences. I did an uninstall and downloaded v. 0.92.5. After a day of successful use, I lost all system patterns again except one called sand and I don't know what move caused it. So I am asking, where do I find a way to retrieve/recover that file.
Beyond the Basics no permission to open file
