IDK if anyone can help me. I am new to Inkscape. I just downloaded it yesterday and have been playing with it. I messed up so many settings and want to return to the default settings. I am on a Mac and have scoured the internet to figure out how to do this. Only one source came up but it proved useless for me. Please help. I don't know how to get the old Inkscape back and no matter how many times I delete and reinstall, the default settings have not reappeared ... because I'm sure the program is "living" somewhere on my computer.
The System subsection now has a button for quickly resetting all Inkscape preferences, which also automatically creates a backup of the current preferences.
Came back to this again because someone asked, not a good place to link them to. @TylerDurden are you interested in putting together a thread we can link to?

Thank you! I will try that.
We really need this to be it's own topic like the auto save one with the funny gifs.

Yep. Can do.
Thanks for this. I somehow changed a setting, so every time I typed text I would get weird shapes. Reset Preferences solved that issue for me.
