How to change the default directory for Open Project menu in Spyder?
I put a shortcut in my home directory called _shortcut_to_spyder_projects to get to my projects faster.  The leading _ keeps it at the top of the list.
How can I change the default directory in Spyder when opening a project via Projects > Open Project? Spyder seems to open always the same directory: User Home directory.
Most of my projects are located in one directory, which is not my home directory. I save there also the copied projects. It would save a few clicks to open a project. In particular, it is nice to have because the number of Recent Projects is limited to 10.
I tried to change Preferences > Current working directory > the following directory, but this does not have any impact on the Open Project directory.
Is there a possibility to change it either in GUI, or via configuration files, or registry (without changing the user home directory of course)?
