Question

File > Open Project Always opens the same folder, not the last used

I have an annoying issue that is specific to AE 22.2.1. (Im on Win 10) When go to open a project (File > Open Project), AE always defaults to one particular folder. No matter where I navigate to open the project I need, the next time I open AE and a project, AE starts in that one particular folder.  While it is not mission critical to fix, it is very annoying.  Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can do?

I don't see anything in preferences that addresses this.  My next step may be to uninstall/reinstall, but I'd like to find a solution before I do that.

Thanks, 

Scott

    I have the same issue with the most recent version (and previous ones) on mac OS. Updates don't change anything; and correct - no preferences to adjust!!!

     

    Not debilitating, yet incredibly annoying...

    well, resetting "Reset All Preferences To Deuault" in "Preferences-Startup and repair" helped. But it will reset all including workspaces

    I don't have a solution to this, but I am experiencing the same issue on a windows 10 machine with the same version of AE.  Older versions of AE (17 & 18) open the last saved location just fine.  While it definitly isn't a crirtical issue, it is very annoying to have AE revert to the same folder every time you try to open a new project.  Resetting the preferences file, and a fresh install of AE did not fix this.

      Such behavior typically indicates a permissions issue with the folders and ultimately also the prefs file itself, so check that stuff using File --> Properties after a right-click on the relevant locations.
