Picture Folder set as Default Folder for new Session Creation

It would be great to have a set default location that all new sessions get created. Over the years I have had numerous projects get lost because the default new session location when creating a new session is inside whatever previous session I was working on. I put all my sessions in the pictures folder, however when I start a new session, it defaults to create in the pictures folder in a previous session. The need to have to select a specific destination every time is an unnecessary step and one that is easily overlooked. Unfortunately, I've almost lost an entire project because I archived a previous session not knowing I had session saved within the session.

Current workaround

The current workaround would be that you have to manually select the exact destination for a session folder. It makes way more sense to just have all sessions created to one folder that you set once to avoid sessions getting saved in places that are not intended.
