feature request: setting to change default location caja opens #1686

Open altruios opened 1 year ago

altruios commented 1 year ago

Currently Caja (sanely) defaults to the ${HOME} directory when you open it.

And while I can do:

caja ~/${foo} &

To have caja open to an arbitrary folder 'foo'.

It seems like it would be a good feature to have that easily set in the GUI settings. A field with a default path to open. (Maybe with some path validation?)

caja --set-default-path ${PATH}

As a CLI to fix any corrupt path you could put in the GUI might also be a wise thing to pair in this request.

My current solution is to make caja into caja ~/${foo} &, but that feels hack-y.
