Folder Locations - Current Project?

Is there a way to set a folder location in Preferences to be the location of the currently open project? Every time I open a project and go to export audio, I have to browse through my overly-organized folder structure to get to the folder of the current project.

    Go to the project audio folder in the browser. It shows the files in your project.

    One of the file pathways you can set as a default in preferences is the "WAve" folder which is for exports.

    True, but I get the sense he wants that preference to change dynamically based on the project that's currently open. The only way I know of that the project audio folder can change dynamically is in the Browser. I believe it's also one of the defaults in the Browser's drop-down folder location menu.

    It appears that you are posting links to the page and not the image on the page
    Instead of

    Use

    between img tags like this

    OK thanks,, I just used the "copy" button and when I pasted into the forums image widget nothing happened, So I just put that link instead. I figured it must work as I know lot of you folks use it. Photobucket has looked all the pictures I have posted here over time asking for money to unlock them!! Oh well. So I'll figure Imgur out seems way better. 
     
    Nice set ups there boys! 
     
    The OP specifically said Export audio so I'm assuming they are not talking about the project audio folder. 
    My screen shot is from a beater laptop I use for internet. SO it's only got a C drive. 
    On my DAW the pathways are to my Data "F" drives.

    There is an option on the Image page to create the appropriate BBCode for this forum. Click the copy button that and paste directly into the post like this

    or click the copy button next to the Direct Link and use the Image button in this forum to insert the link with the appropriate BBCode (img tags)

    OK that was the problem,, I was still on the upload page which didn't have those options to copy.. Thanks ,, now I can post screenshots which I think really help explain things when helping. 
     
    Sorry to the OP for the highjack,,
