Add "Default Workspace Directory" option.
Creating a workspace should be as simple as selecting a repo. Why am I filling in the same, unchanging bits of info each time? I don't give my workspace a name different than the repo, that's crazy. I don't change the my c:\dev\ source root folder root, and the repo is now filled in.

This will be integrated in the release BL654. It is done.
That being said: it is not that “crazy” to use a workspace with a different name than the repository. In fact I do it all the time since I tend to switch repositories while using the same workspace when I have to switch from one project to another, provided they’re not too big.

The file is actually the guiclient.conf file
"C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\plastic4\guiclient.conf"And the tag is DefaultWorkspaceRoot
<DefaultWorkspaceRoot>C:\Plastic</DefaultWorkspaceRoot> -
You can already change it, just edit client.conf and that's all

Yes the default is the user directory\wkspaces and I would like to change that. Please reopen this task.

Where do I find this option? I find it neither in the client GUI nor in the release notes of 5.4.16.659.
I think Ryan ment a default directory where workspaces are located at. Currently, "Create new workspace" defaults the GUI to C:\Users\<user>\wkspaces which is annoying, since I have to navigate to my D:\Sources\PSCM folder each and every time. (I want to have the new wkspace at D:\Sources\PSCM\<workspace>)
