Probably a basic issue, but still something that irks me and I can't find an answer online.
I want to change the default folder for saving new shapes/processing outputs from "last used folder" to "project folder" or "something in relation to project folder" - is this possible? If so, how can I achieve this?
You can alter the default saving location through Options > Processing.
This also allows you to specify a pre-execution python script which I assume could be written to set the save folder (details here: https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/training_manual/processing/hooks.html)
This answer indicates you can grab the current project path quite easily: Retrieve path and file name of current QGIS project in Python
