The purpose of the Root Folder in project properties is not clear to me.
I would have expected that - after selecting a project - the default directory for the file open dialogue would be the root folder, but it isn't.
I also read from a posting that it is not used to compute a file path in the editor (the editor uses relative paths).
Thank you for helping me further.

More often, I'm in your situation, wishing it would default to the project folder but the 'jump to' option would be the perfect blend for my style of working at least.
