dsh-workspace-default-dir

When you add a workspace in dsh, the directory picker always launches at your Windows user home. If you keep projects under a fixed path like E:\python_project or D:\src, you end up clicking through dozens of folders every single time. dsh-workspace-default-dir removes that friction: set your preferred folder once, and the picker opens there from then on.

The plugin covers both picker backends inside dsh: the native Windows dialog (via IFileDialog::SetFolder) and the browser-based browse picker (used for non-loopback hosts such as LAN). You configure the path either through the Settings card or the command line; both write to the same persisted variable DSH_PICKER_INITIAL_DIR, so they always stay in sync. Changes take effect immediately without a dsh restart. A registry fallback reads HKCU\Environment directly, bypassing the stale-Explorer-environment problem. On every dsh boot the plugin idempotently re-applies its small patches, so an upgrade that restores the stock files is self-repaired automatically.

This is for Windows dsh users whose projects live outside the user home and who want the folder picker to start where they expect, every time. One-time setup, lasting convenience.
