<br>
I'm seeking ideas on how we can improve the usefulness of the "Project<br>
Home" item in the browser panel.<br>
<br>
Currently, this item is shown after opening a project, and consists of<br>
a directory item showing the contents of the same folder in which the<br>
.qgs project file is stored.<br>
<br>
I really like the idea of this Project Home item, but I can't make use<br>
of it because at none of my current workplaces are the .qgs project<br>
files stored in the root directory of a project. A more common<br>
structure is something like:<br>
<br>
project_001\<br>
project_001\incoming_data\<br>
project_001\reports<br>
project_001\outgoing<br>
project_001\data<br>
project_001\projects\my_qgis_<wbr>file.qgs<br>
<br>
In this case the shortcut to the .qgs folder doesn't help - because<br>
none of the interesting stuff is located there. I suspect this isn't<br>
an uncommon scenario, and that a lot of workplaces don't store .qgs<br>
files in the root directory of projects.<br>
<br>
Has anyone got any ideas of how we could improve the Project Home item<br>
to meet this scenario? Best I can come up with is to add a new setting<br>
(booo) in Project Properties to manually set the project home<br>
folder...<br>
<br>
(Note - In an ideal world, ALL file open/save dialogs would have a<br>
shortcut to this project home folder available too. It's possible in<br>
Windows (see e.g.<br>

exposed via Qt (yet) )<br>
