How to make the selectFolder() function open using a default path

Processing Coding Questions

I found the example:

//import java.io.*;  //import java.io.File; already imported by Processing!

File a = new File("d:/test"); // The folder must exist!

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  //selectFolder("Select a folder to process:", "folderSelected");
  
  //selectFolder(prompt, callbackMethod, defaultSelection, callbackObject, parentFrame)
  selectFolder("Select a folder to process:", "folderSelected", a);
}

void folderSelected(File selection) {
  if (selection == null) {
    println("Window was closed or the user hit cancel.");
  } else {
    println("User selected " + selection.getAbsolutePath());
  }
}

void draw()
  {
  }

void keyPressed()
  {
  selectFolder("Select a folder to process:", "folderSelected", a);  
  }
