How does one set the default directory for new projects? Follow
When I select 'File -> New Project' I would like to customize the default base path for "Location".
Currently it defaults to my Windows home directory /PhpStormProjects, and I would like it to default to another path.
Is this possible?

Hi there,
AFAIK it should remember your last location -- at very least it does this for me.
It certainly does it in WebStorm 9.0, but it doesn't keep track of it in PhpStorm, and I can't find any config settings to change.
There is no GUI settings for that
But if you have brave heart .. you can edit config file directly :)
Awesome!
That worked! Thanks a bunch! I've certainly created new projects with it before. Interesting! I'm betting I cleared something out that I wasn't supposed to the last time I messed with the config files a while back.
Thanks again!
DataGrip has to be one of the worst editors ever. Doing simple things, like saving a .sql file is much more difficult than other IDEs. File Save-As brings me to a dialog window that defaults the "To Directory" to some esoteric path, deep in the bowels of DataGrip. Here's a suggestion, remember the last place that I saved to and bring that path up as a default directory. Also, it would be nice for DataGrip to use a standard DOS File Dialog window for opening a .sql file; one with date and name sort maybe!

Try making a thread in DataGrip forums -- you may get more precise answer there.
PhpStorm may have completely different usage patterns where "Open File" be used extremely rarely (depends on the user, of course).
For example: since I wok with projects, I almost never need to use "Open File" dialog (to open a file that is outside of the project). And to locate a file that is part of the project I'm using "Navigate | File".
