Is there a way??

Hello All:

Is there a way to set up KomodoEdit so that when you click on New Project or the Open File that it is set to a default Directory?

Not a huge issue but thought it would be nice to be where you keep your projects when you open it.

Thanks for any help or advice on the matter,

Paul

There is always a way :D

I've been using Dafi's MoreKomodo extension, utilizing the favourites feature, which enables you to easily setup a bunch of common open locations.

Alternatively, you could write your own macro (and override the existing open keybinding) to do whatever you wish. Here is a simple JavaScript macro example:

var defaultDir = "";
var project = ko.projects.manager.currentProject;
if (project) {
    if (project.live && project.prefset.hasPrefHere("import_dirname")) {
        defaultDir = project.prefset.getStringPref("import_dirname");
    } else {
        defaultDir = ko.uriparse.dirName(project.url);
    }
}
ko.filepicker.openFiles(defaultDir);
var defaultDir = "";
var project = ko.projects.manager.currentProject;
if (project) {
    if (project.live && project.prefset.hasPrefHere("import_dirname")) {
        defaultDir = project.prefset.getStringPref("import_dirname");
    } else {
        defaultDir = ko.uriparse.dirName(project.url);
    }
}
ko.filepicker.openFiles(defaultDir);

Also, I just noticed a new extension on the Komodo community site, which may be of interest (though I have not yet tried it out):
