Hi,
many thanks, but I can't seem to find the option 'Save as Template'. I can only find 'Open as Template'.

'Save template' is not present in my menu (Inkscape 0.92 on Ubuntu MATE 20.04).

Hi,

after installing the new Inkscape 1.0, it is there alright! 😉

I wasn´t aware that it´s feature of 1.0 - hopefully it will work out for you.

Inkscape .92.xx and earlier can save default.svg to their user-profile Templates directory*.
*(Some users may need to save to desktop first, and then copy to user templates directory, due to security permissions.)
