Does anyone else have any comments on this change. It makes sense to me that on a new or empty project that the project path gets set to the user's home path. I see in the patch that it is fixed in kicad and eeschema. It might be a good idea to see if this behavior exists in pcbnew as well and fix it accordingly.
