Not sure if I understand and doing this right, but it was my understanding that I could set my zoom and other features (like I have an added layer).  Then if I save as a template and say set as default it should remember it.  Everything I set is remembered except my zoom.  I would like it set to 68% (which is what it is when I click on "zoom to fit page in window".  Yet when I exit and come back into the app/program it goes back to 78%.  TIA.

Yeah, that seems flaky here too. Oddly, it seems to work on files that are NOT templates. 

I used a text-editor to change the values manually in the template svg file:

     inkscape:zoom="0.5"
     inkscape:cx="1100"
     inkscape:cy="540"

The above are for my 1920x1080 template, and it took some trial & error to find good settings. The cx and cy are for centering.

Tyler, are you saying that when saving templates it does not save the zoom, or that when loading from a template it does not load the zoom?

I think both this and the revert zoom issues should be reported.

I'm saying that:

• In .92.2, documents open at a zoom value 1.43065693 times larger than the value saved in the inkscape:zoom element in the sodipodi. 
• In 1.0 (under linux), saving a template including the default.svg (using the checkbox) does not write a new zoom value, even though saving a non-template document will.

I'll report the bug in 1.0

Thanks.
