cygwin open current folder from webstorm 9

I have set my shell as cygwin instead of the cmd.exe in Windows 8 using WebStorm 9 IDE.

But it opens the console at the default path ~, how can I somehow specify it to open the current IDE root folder? Is it possible to send any parameter or something?

Solution

    Open Cygwin command in specified directory on windows

    Basically just set the shell path to: your_cygwin64_path\bin\env.exe CHERE_INVOKING=1 /bin/bash -l

    And make sure that you don't use a cd command from your .bashrc as well.
