    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Detlev,<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
