Define a default location for saving all new files

[ysnjzl]

Hi,
First of all, I would like to thank you for this amazing IDE.
I am writing to propose a new feature that I think it will be of good use.
Today, the user can :

• Set the default language for new files 👍🏻
• Configure the editor to auto save files 👍🏻
• However, this new file is saved somewhere, and sometimes this 'Untitled' file gets lost...

It would be nice to have the possibility to define a custom folder to save all new files.

• The file extension is known from the default language defined
• The title is auto generated as of today
• The user can define a default location for new files

This way, whenever a user creates a new file, if auto save is enabled, then the file will be saved automatically in the user defined folder.

I hope you find this useful,
many thanks in advance,
Best regards.
