I'll give you my use case: I share my projects among a few images, and I like to keep them in sub- directories like: /path/to/repositories/project-1/ /path/to/repositories/project-2/ /path/to/repositories/project-3/ So each one of these is a separate, unrelated repository in a common parent directory for ease of finding. So when I +Repository to each image, I have to navigate from the default directory to my repository for each new repository. If I can pick a start directory once as a setting, I can add new project's sub- directory or open them without any navigation. Does that make sense?

Whether the user is required to specify a "default directory" or a directory to a repository, it's the same task isn't it?
Once you add it once to MC, it can be "added" to any other package. So this defaultDirectory would seem to be a feature not worth its weight..

In Monticello Browser, when I click "+Repository" and select
"directory,"
I'd love to be taken right to the directory where I keep my local repositories, instead of having to click to the same place over and over.
I changed the following method: MCDirectoryRepository class>>morphicConfigure ^ (UIManager default chooseDirectoryFrom: (FileDirectory on: '/path/to/my/Repositories')) ifNotNil: [:directory | self new directory: directory]
How should I store the default repository directory? Would anyone else find this helpful?
