Priority: Low

Class: Feature Request
Severity: Non-critical
Number: 19673
Release: 20.05.10.4521 - win64
Confidential: No
Status: Open

Environment: win64
Synopsis: Please allow chhosing non-default location for new projects
Description
EiffelStudio's "Open project" dialog has the drop-down field "Location:" where we can set the path where ES will create the EIFGENS folder, which can be different from the path where the project itself resides. But the "Create project" dialog has no such an option; the subsequent "Choose your project name and directory" dialog has a field "Location:", but it refers only to where the project, i.e. the .ecf and .e files will be created, and where ES will create the EIFGENS folder by default. This forces the user who wants to keep EIFGENS in a separate path to create the project, close it, delete the EIFGENS folder and reopen the project setting a new path for ES to create EIFGENS.
