[Eric] How to set default directory paths in Eric4?

[Geert Vancompernolle]

Hi Detlev,

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.

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.
