How can I set default project location for all projects in IntelliJ IDEA?

I'm wondering if there is a way to set the default location for all IntelliJ projects, something similar to the workspace concept in Eclipse?

Because I always need to change the IDEA project location when I create a new project.

Solution 1:

Required mininum version: IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2 EAP

IntelliJ IDEA 2018.2 EAP (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-182.2371.4, built on May 15, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1226-b7 x86_64

ability to specify the default directory for opening projects. In the Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings in the Project Opening section there is a new Default directory field where you can set a directory.

Solution 2:

It's not possible yet (IDEA 16 EAP 144.4199), or the remembering has been disabled for some reason.

I opened https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-152061.

UPDATE the above issue has been fixed and IDEA now remembers last project location.
