What's Wrong?
Couldnt find a claude code desktop app branch so putting this here.
Claude code on the claude desktop app keeps auto picking a default working folder, I cannot remove it and when adding a folder it still falls back to that auto picked folder. Nothing helped, tried changing config files, tried deleteing the folder still the same.
What Should Happen?
I should be able to remove the folder and stop the app from auto picking it. A new session shouldnt pick a default folder just let me pick the folder on each new session
