Yes I missed it, thanks. The non-scaling is intentional, as explained in the external-templates comment. Fonts are scaled to the surrounding text (unlike with XFig), a property that allowing rescaling here would destroy. Rescaling should rather be done inside Inkscape, by actually rescaling the figure. But sure, it could be enabled and the responsibility left to the user.
About the preview inset, I think I just don't understand the logic here well enough (and I don't use preview as it's heavy on the CPU with large docs), but if you can make the necessary change (and if it's simple) just make it and go ahead. Yes, I would like to see this checked in.

One thing I have noticed is that the preview provided by the external inset does not update when one changes the surrounding text. For instance the preview can fail because of a missing package and it will not update after correcting the preamble, or it will not reflect the surrounding font. In practice it works much better to wrap the ExternalInset in a preview inset, which takes the surroundings into account for updating the preview. Also, is it possible to enable the resizing options from the dialog? Do you want me to commit the patches? Guillaume
