~/Projects as default working directory #8378

@Rudxain

Description

@Rudxain

Enhancement Summary

There's a new Free-Desktop standard (XDG_PROJECTS_DIR) that formalizes the ~/Projects folder. I propose defaulting to that instead of ~/Documents. Alternatively, only default to Projects if the folder already exists, and fallback to Documents otherwise

Related: #5869

Implementation Details / Mockup

Same as current default, just using the old default as fallback. Ideally, also use the corresponding env-var according to the xdg-user-dirs specification.
