ide - How to change the default new/open project directory in PhpStorm 8? -

when click open or new project phpstorm shows way c:\user\myname. tell me how alter c:\xamp\www ?

there no gui that.

phpstorm should remember lastly used folder (when created new project) , utilize default next 1 (does me; although i'm using same path since v1 .. maybe broken since then).

if not , if have brave heart .. can edit config file straight :)

close ide open file in text editor: c:\users\username\.webide80\config\options\ide.general.xml (path phpstorm v8 on windows 7; other os/versions please see link: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108-directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs ) file short -- find <option name="lastprojectlocation" node , edit value attribute -- set desired path there save changes, launch ide , see if worked you.
