How do I change the default directory for importing images?

Hello, when I create an image frame and want to import an image, the dialog box that opens displays a file explorer with always the same default folder (home/user/documents - I'm using Linux). It offers a few other default folders in the left frame (root of the hard drive, etc.). I would like to know if it's possible to change the default directory, or create a favorite folder, because when you have to import images repeatedly, it's very tedious to have to find the correct source folder each time, especially if the path is a bit complicated. In the preferences, there's a "paths" tab, but it doesn't seem to allow me to change this default folder. Any help would be appreciated.

There isnt a direct path to set. But there is a work around. The collect for output option to save a document creates a directory for images, If you have at least one image in your document  the path for getting an image is set to this directory. This path is unique to the document only. It might help the issue you are having.

It doesn't change where the file dialogue opens by default, but you can click and drag any folder to the sidebar on the left to save it as a favorite folder & use that as a shortcut.
