    Is it possible somehow with python to change the path that for example the Open Project window will open?

        Hi @pyxelrigger sadly since S26 this is not anymore possible, previously it was saved within the world container like so

        wc = c4d.GetWorldContainerInstance()
        wc[c4d.WPREF_FILEPATH_ALL] = r"C:\Users\m_adam\Documents\MAXON\Build\2023.000_381745"
        

        This is still used by c4d.storage.LoadDialog and c4d.storage.SaveDialog functions, but internally we don't use anymore these functions.

        I've open a ticket internally as this is a regression.

        Cheers,
        Maxine.
