Change the default location of PyCharm Project


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 name of this proposed folder?

(I couldn't find any reference to changing it in the interface, on the JetBrains site, or in the settings files. Either it isn't possible or (I hope) I missed something.)

Note, it is not a duplicate of Can I change the location/name of PyCharmProjects? - I am aware that it is possible to change proposed path for every created project - but I want defaults that I like.


Solution

  • I know this is an old question, but is is certainly possible as of now

    Settings | Appearance & Behaviour | System Settings | Default directory

    See JetBrains support page
