I have several directories for different projects in the working directory 
menu at the top of Spyder’s interface (v. 2.3.4).

Suppose I change to a different one, there is a button to the right whose 
tooltip says “Set as current console’s working directory”. However, when I 
click it, both the console and the IPython console still show the previous 
directory with %pwd.

Similarly, when editing a file, in the Editor’s menu in the upper right 
corner of the window there is an item that promises “Set console working 
directory”, presumably based on the file’s location. Again, choosing it 
doesn’t change either console’s working directory.

Are these broken items, or are they doing something that’s not apparent to 
me?

In any case, how do I quickly change a console’s working directory to a 
particular folder that’s already showing in the File Explorer?

Simplest I could find is to restart the IPython console, browse to the 
directory in the regular console, or copy the path from the working 
directory menu and then type %cd <paste>, none of which are as simple as a 
button or menu item.
