Telling Blender where to go

When I add a reference image to blender it goes to a default folder.

I wish to change it but cant find out how.

File → Preferences → File Paths. All the paths up in there:

Tried those didn’t change anything.

How did you add an image into a Blender? Via Images as Planes?

Sorry if i explained wrong trying to change the default folder to my choice not sure were to change?

Hmm… not sure if you’re able to change it. I think it’s a built-in Blender feature. Maybe you can do this via Python or something, but I’m not sure about.

Just tested it in my Blender and it opens Documents folder either.

Ok thank you for trying, That explains why I cant find an answer anywhere on it.

Check this out also, the first answer in there may explain it to you:

BTW, if you wish to find out more about File Browser, I’d recommend to read this one article:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/file_browser.html

Nevertheless, I didn’t find anything in there that could’ve been related to your question.

Thank you :grinning:
