Change default build path to something other than "..\builds"

Status: New

Being able to set the default target build folder for anything I build in LabVIEW would be a nice convenience for me.  Currently, when a new build is created the default path is relative as "..\builds" from the current project folder.  I would like to be able to change the default to a physical root path to something like "C:\Users\<username>\LabVIEW Builds\".

I'd like this too so that I can set it to be within the project directory so that I can keep it with the source control version of the project.

I'd argue the default should be ".\builds" so that it is within the project directory.

I don't disagree with you, crossrulz, the default should be ".\builds".  But I'm not asking to change the default; I'm asking for the ability for the user to change the default to something else if they desire like a lot of other LabVIEW features/options.  Then if we desire ".\builds" we can enter it.  My preference is different than that because I share my entire build folder with other domain users, but I don't want to share my source code.
