Change the default location of Pycharm Project

Question

I am using PyCharm 3.4.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. For new project it suggests ~/PyCharmProjects for storing project folders. Is it possible to change the location and n

Answer 1

I would have to agree, because I could not find an option in the program. However, based on the answers, found a folder labeled (in my case) \Users\.PyCharmCE2018.1\config\options

In this folder there are XMLs, one named option with a tag "file.chooser.recent.files". I worked with this, which I found to work for me.

Answer 2

It's not a provided option. See this old thread (2003) on devnet.jetbrains.com where this is being discussed.

Subsequent requests to specify a default directory for projects has gone unanswered:
