Hi Detlev,

It would, for sure, be interesting to be able to at least set the "workspace" environment (just like Eclipse is doing/asking when starting it for the first time). This way, when you open or create a new project (Project - Open... / Project - New...), it will (should) always take the given directory as a starting point.

And since, I think, most people use a "fixed" starting path for their projects (e.g. <prefix>/Python/Projects), this should be beneficial/useful for quite some people, if not all.

Hello Geert,

you won't believe it but that hasn't been built in. eric uses the standard behavior of the QFileDialog, when no "directory" is given. According to the docs it will use the current working directory. Which situations would you suggest to be changed?

Regards,

Detlev
