Persist the default project path depending on the location where a project was last created

[louiidev]

Describe the project you are working on: N/A

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project: When creating a new project it doesn't suggest the last place I had a project e.g: C:/Users/Louis/Desktop/Godot/

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation:
When the user creates a new project is suggests putting that new project inside the folder of where you last had a project.

last: C:/Users/Louis/Desktop/Godot/ProjectA
suggested: C:/Users/Louis/Desktop/Godot/ProjectB

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudocode, mockups, and/or diagrams:

1. Check if the user has a previous godot project
2. if so suggest that parent folder as the new location for your project with the project name as the folder container
3. else use the default path

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?: Not sure

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?: It seems like a lot of programs and other game engines work this way and it's a lot more convenient

Search hints: remember last project folder, directory

There is a default project path in Editor Setttings. If setting it manually is a problem we could add a checkbox when creating project to set current path as default.

Yeah I guess part of my problem is there's no way to do it from the editor when you're creating a new project

Ooo. I was sure it was already requested when I saw the discussion yesterday but somehow my search fu failed.

Can someone edit the proposal title to have the word 'folder' and/or 'remember'?

I've edited the OP instead, it should still work for searches. I couldn't find a way to fit "remember" in there without making it less technically correct.

Never realized that I can change the default project path because it doesn't make sense that this setting wouldn't be accessible through the project manager itself, it's practically undiscoverable. I like this proposal because a lot of other software remembers the last path and it greatly improves usability without requiring users to manually change any editor setting
