Description
Background
New objects are created in their 'home' folder (Strategy, Business, Application etc). To be tidy I like to move them around to named subfolders (by object type, project etc). This often involves the excellent Search -> Filter Options to chose all objects of a certain type to move them around. Maybe everyone is ok to do this?
Feature Suggestion
I've noticed some tools offer a folder right-click to 'set as default'. So that from then on, any new objects are created into that folder. Obviously you need a 'Set it to default home folder'.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the code for creating new objects and the folder right-click/context-menu actions. Define how a folder becomes the default home folder and verify that each newly created object is placed there while the existing home-folder behavior remains available.
