Godot-proposals: Add 'default scene path' to Project Settings

[Dorifor]

Describe the project you are working on:
1 bit course from HeartBeast
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project:
I created folders to organize my project (Scripts, Scenes, etc...) but when I create a new scene while I'm in the root folder or any other folder than Scenes, then it creates it outside of my custom folder.
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation:
A "Default Scene Creation Path" and a "Default Script Creation Path" option in the project settings would be awesome.
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudocode, mockups, and/or diagrams:
A new menu / option in the Project Settings where we can select default pathes for files we create (Scripts / Scenes / etc...)
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?:
I don't know
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?:
I think it'd benefit a lot of people.

You can right-click a directory in file system and select "New Scene". The scene will be created in that directory (after you save it).

I created folders to organize my project (Scripts, Scenes, etc...) but when I create a new scene while I'm in the root folder or any other folder than Scenes, then it creates it outside of my custom folder.

It's recommended to group resources by purpose or "component" rather than by type. With this in mind, the project setting isn't really necessary anymore since scripts should generally be created next to the scene file (rather than always creating them in a specific folder). See Project organization in the documentation for more information.

As someone working with C#/Mono in Godot, it seems like this would be a nice addition, especially with respect to namespaces. In Visual Studio, when you create a new cs file in a folder, you automatically get a namespace that matches that name. Currently this is a pain though since Godot doesn't generate cs files with namespaces for some reason, I believe this issue has been talked in a Godot blog though.

I understand that you want people to follow your style guidelines, and while maybe that should be the default behavior, I don't think people should be forced into following a particular guideline. To me it makes sense to have my scripts together so that they appear together in Visual Studio. I don't want to have to dig through tons of folders. Generally I have Godot open with the scenes folder open so I can easily access the scene I want, and then all my scripting is done in Visual Studio. The two lists are separate, and therefore half as long, easier to find what I am looking for.

I guess an argument could be made that if your going to organize your code by a particular namespace, you would want to organize your scenes in that same way, but I don't know if that will universally be true.

Godot will never be a replacement for Visual Studio, VSCode, Blender, Aesprite, etc. Developers are often going to be using many programs together. Some people might want their scenes, scripts, and assets together, others might find other workflows more productive.
