File > Open on Mac always just opens my user folder
My projects are in a folder under my user folder, but the way the Mac is and my shortcuts (in Finder), I keep having to click multiple times to get to the projects folder after selecting File > Open instead of PHPStorm just remembering where I was last time I opened a project that way, like most other programs I use (at least in Windows).
Is there some fix for this so PHPStorm remembers the last-selected project folder parent (or the project itself) to just make it easier to open a project without having to close the current one?
I know I can move my projects folder up the list of shortcuts in Finder, but then that makes it inconvenient for selecting other shortcuts in other apps... I don't want to fix one inconvenience to cause multiple others.

Please check if disabling the native file chooser does the trick for you: Help | Find Action | Registry | ide.mac.file.chooser.native.
What is that supposed to do? I'd like to know first what it's supposed to do before potentially risking an irreversible problem in the registry...
It replaces the native macOS file chooser with our own, that has the feature you need and more.
OK, I tried this; it does remember the last folder but double-click won't open the folder as the project, I have to select the folder then click the open button...
So my request would simply be for the new feature to remember the last successfully-opened project folder... unless there's already a way to make it do that somehow.
Help | Find Action | Registry | ide.mac.file.chooser.native does not exist anymore.
Really needs to fix it. I'm tired of clicking each time all the path.
Hi Oleg Zavrazhin,
This thread is quite old. Please check the following one: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/21138492870930-Back-to-Mac-OS-File-Chooser, and try disabling the Use native file chooser dialog on Windows/macOS option in Settings | Advanced Settings.
