Description DrSlony 2021-10-29 09:40:57 UTC
I want to set all new projects to use /foo as the project folder by default. There seems to be no way of doing so.

I can go to Project > Project Settings and set "Custom project folder", but that only applies to that project.

I can go to Configure > Project Defaults and change "Custom project folder", but that only applies to the edited project. It does not change the default.

I can go to Configure > Environment > Default Folders, but there is no option called "Project folder".

So either there is no way of doing that, in which case this is a feature request, or there is a way of doing it but it is mis-labeled or mis-placed.

Which GUI widget corresponds to KdenliveSettings::defaultprojectfolder ? Is it Configure > Project Defaults > Custom project folder?
