Default Folder to Publish To

I, too, have been publishing to "C:\Publish" on my computer for years, to avoid issues with long path names and to not have all the gigabyes of published training files backed up to my company's servers. 

Previous versions of Studio would remember the last folder published to as a global setting, and this was wonderful.  It was a boon to streamlining workflow.  With the current version of Storyline I have to manually set each project to the publish folder I want to use. 

It is very clear that Articulate does not seem care about this feature request as it has been requested for many years.  I think everybody posting to this and many other forum threads fully understand what Articulate wants us to do regarding local folders and why, and everyone posting about this has already submitted a feature request to be able to change the global default publish folder. It feels like the needs of the user community just doesn't matter.  Why have a feature request at all?

Unfortunately the staff responding in the forums either (a) doesn't understand what is being requested, or (b) doesn't want to answer the question.  I feel like we are all spinning our wheels with this one.
