I want to have an arrow with aspect ratio of 4 (length/width) as marker. It looks like this:

Such a marker is not available in Inkscape by default. I tried drawing the same and tried the Objects to marker option. This object disappears. I see the object in the marker list. How to permanently save this in the list of markers?

The Inkscape version is 0.91.

There are some notes on adding custom markers permanently over here (go to the section "Custom Markers").

Short summary:


Open the document containing your markers using a text editor or Inkscape's XML editor.
Search the marker definition. It should start with <marker … and end with </marker>.
Copy your marker definition to Inkscape's makers.svg *. You may want do modify the definition such that the marker adapts to stroke color, orientation, and so on.


* You can find Inkscape's configuration files on your PC by looking into Inkscape's preferences. The configuration file paths listed in Edit > Preferences > System. Look for the entry Inkscape Data. You may have to append …/inkscape/markers/markers.svg.
