Problem with General Display Units Property not saving

Can you share the file, please, and make an easy-to-follow step-by-step description? That will make it faster to help you.

You can use any file hoster, e.g. https://framadrop.org or google drive etc. to share your file. Post a link in your next message.

After upgrading Inkscape .092.2 from the previous version Inkscape
.092.1, I opened a project I had started on the previous version (see
link).When it opened, it displayed a dialog box like the one inserted
below. This example is from another file with the same problem.

I selected the first option as in the illustration and clicked okay.When
the file opened the rulers were set for pixels, so I opened the Document
Properties box.Under General, the Display units were set as pixels. All
other settings in the dialog box were set to inches. I changed the
Display units to inches. However the rulers did not update to inches.I
saved the file and closed and re-opened it. When I opened the Document
Properties box, the General/Display units was set to pixels again. I
performed different variations of saving, closing, and exiting the
program, but nothing worked. As a work around, I finally created a new
file, set the document for inches, and imported the objects from the
affected file. I don't want to open any of my older projects until I can
get a handle on what happened to this file and how it can be properly
corrected.
I appreciate you taking the time and attention for this problem.
Thank you.

Hi,

so this corresponds to https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1671691

Until the bug is resolved, you can use this workaround:

- Open File > Document properties
- Open the 'viewbox' section in the first tab
- Trigger the creation of a viewbox by adding 1 (or any other number) to one of the values, hit Enter
- Fix it to its correct value by subtracting 1 (or any other number) from the value you modified previously, hit Enter.
- Change the unit in the top right corner ('Display units')
- Save
- Close and open document

Can you please append the image that shows which option you selected to the linked bug report?

Attachments do not work in the 'answers' section, but they do in bug reports. I do not know which option you selected.

Per your request, I added the dialog box attachment to the bug report.
At this time I have not tried the resolution you sent to me. I will send
you an update after my attempt.
Thank you.

Thanks, hope it's going to work for you, too!

Hachmann,
You will be happy to know that your solution worked. The General Display
units is now showing inches and the rulers are incremented in inches.
I appreciate all the time and work you put into solving this problem.
Thank you.
