Tweak the default project path to use a dedicated folder in Documents #47724
Conversation
- Disallow creating new projects at the root of the default project path to avoid clutter. Instead, projects must be created in subfolders.
Well, I have a dedicated and organized folder far away from |
Same thing as @pycbouh, I generally don't use Documents because other programs tend to pollute it with garbage. I store all of my projects in a custom folder I made called |
Add me to the list of people who don't use Documents, but a custom folder... |
Just to clarify: just like Aaron I am not against this change, but if it's usability and better organization that we seek, this may not be the solution. This does sound like a sensible default value for people who don't organize their workspace to their own preference though. |
This has always been one of the first things I set on a fresh installation, and always wondered why it wasn't always like this already. I support this change. |
"One downside is that a $HOME/Documents/Godot folder will be created even if the user never creates any projects in it" I don't understand the downside and why is that have to be Solution 1: Instead when the user creates a new project in any chosen folder... Remember and make it default for any new projects. Solution 2 : on 1st time running Godot... Ask for projects default path Solution 3 : when choosing directory for project ... Give selection option of recent project directories like drop down mean ( if created any ) Some enhancements : add ability to have multiple project directories in autoscan path manually or add automatically all created project directories and organize them accordingly |

One downside is that a
$HOME/Documents/Godot
folder will be created even if the user never creates any projects in it. However, I believe it encourages better organization (it's something I always do personally), so I'd say the tradeoff is worth it. This tradeoff is also shared by other software such as Premiere Pro, so we wouldn't be the only software to do this.Preview
