Moini, so you know I've not (yet at this point) installed any Inkscape extensions.

Inside the preferences directory, you will see several folders, such as 'extensions', 'palettes', 'templates', etc. On Linux, depending on the file browser you use, you may need to right-click and select to display hidden folders, or you can paste the path directly into the field for the path, or there may be a specific keyboard shortcut for it. On a Mac, to unhide files in your file browser, (since the release of Sierra MacOS 10.12.6) you can do a CMD + SHIFT +. Don't forget to change "user name" to the name you registered for your computer. Just click there, and you will see that you can paste it in. It might not look like there's any place to paste that path, in Windows Explorer, but it's the first row under the titlebar. Or you can paste that path into Windows Explorer, to open just that folder, for just this reason (and all the other hidden folders remain hidden). On Windows, you can consult Windows documentation for instructions how to unhide all hidden files and folders. When you browse to that place, using your file manager, it may be that the folder is not visible to you, because it is hidden ( period in front of a file name makes it a hidden folder or file). There you will see a path, which for example, in Windows, is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Inkscape, on Linux it could be /home/username/.config/inkscape, and on a Mac, you may find that it is /Users/username/.config/inkscape/. To find it, look in Edit menu > Preferences > System > User config. The directory where the downloaded files need to be pasted is slightly different, depending on which kind of system you're using.


If you've found a new Inkscape extension (or palette, document template, symbol set, icon set, etc.) on the internet, you'll need to install it in Inkscape, to be able to use it. GANGUS, cc: Can you check if this is correct, please:
