Now when you recompile, run, and exit Inkscape, the new elements with the default values will be added to your local preferences.xml (without affecting other values there). The value given in this file is the default if the user has changed it, his/her value in preferences.xml takes precedence over src/preferences-skeleton.h.
So, I edit this file addingĭon't forget to escape quotes. Moreover, if the preferences file lacks some values, the defaults are taken from the same file. When no preferences file exists, a new one is created based on src/preferences-skeleton.h. No text within elements is allowed (except whitespace). So you can use group elements or any others, whatever seems more logical. What matters for finding the value is the id attribute values.
However, it would be ideal if you found a better place for your preference than the generic "options" hierarchy. It's better to place your preference as an attribute of the options node. This is because if you think about element nodes as folders and attributes as entries, you would get a path like "/options/nudgedistance/value", which is redundant. If you want to store something entirely new and not yet taken care of, you can even add a new top-level element. If you have added a new object to the program, such as a new tool or dialog, add a new element in an appropriate top-level element. Now this element is empty, but I can store my value in a new attribute. For example, if I want to add a value for some option related to the Select tool, I find the group element with id="tools" and inside I find. When creating a new preference value, start by examining this file and finding a logical place for the new value. In future, there will be no guarantee that preferences are stored in an XML file. In this file, element nodes correspond to keys (folders) and attributes to entries.
