Some kind of a workspace feature

This is not - by far - a top priority feature to be added but would take care of a recurrent pet peeve of mine.

Every time I have to open an existing file or save/create a new one, I have to navigate (in the Save As window for example) all the way from the /home folder to the folder where I want it to be. It would be nice if I didn't have to save all my RARS projects close to the /home folder just to save time in navigation.

Suggestion: add as settings option a base url for opening/saving files to a user defined folder.

Thanks for making an issue about this. I agree that it can be unduly time consuming to open up files when starting up RARS. I spend a lot of time launching RARS to test changes and had gotten a little annoyed at the need to seek to my examples folder, but I thought others wouldn't have much issue with it.

Currently RARS sets the file finders start directory to the directory containing the most recent file loaded, but that does not persist between launches.

Rather than a setting option for a base url, I would be inclined to make the most recent loaded file persist between launches.

I added "Recent Files" support to my fork of MARS, which might be useful to you: https://github.com/JarrettBillingsley/MARS_Assembler/commit/d24ccfbf44b6d38a98f6bd4ed179ea4bca38ae04
