> How about making it a checkbox in the project creation dialog, and for "New" it would default to inside ~/projects (which means unchecked I guess?), and for "New from folder" to inside the project folder/checked as you suggest - but with an obvious way to toggle it right there in the creation dialog. That would also make it easier to find than a global pref for those who don't like the respective default.

It would be possible to have such a button but it would have to affect the path that was already pre-filled with something based on this preference set inside the preferences dialog. Checking/unchecking should probably modify the path to the corresponding value. The question is whether this modification should happen even if the user manually started typing some another path. This might be a source of extra confusion.
