Making existing keystore the default? #242

Is there a way to make an existing java keystore the default keystore?

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing: You mean the keystore that is opened like this, right?:

The location of that keystore is prespecified by keytool (see its documentation):

For example, if keytool -genkeypair is called and the -keystore option is not specified, the default keystore file named .keystore in the user's home directory is created when it does not already exist.

If you put an existing keystore into your home directory and rename it to ".keystore", then KSE will open it as the default keystore instead of creating a new one.

There is also the "File > Recent Files" menu item, that's what I use to open frequently accessed keystores.

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. Thank you!
