PowerPoint Allow the option to change default pictures folder in PowerPoint
Unlike Word, where we can change the default pictures folder for users, there is no such option available in PowerPoint. I have noticed making changes registry also does not have any effect in latest versions of PPT. Please allow this function, as it would benefits a lot of companies to direct their users to go directly to a folder with all brand approved images from within PowerPoint (just like in Word)

Dear Microsoft,
PowerPoint is a visual tool that's ALL ABOUT PICTURES! I can understand this feature having not yet been implemented in 2014, but this is such an obvious omission, I hope you'll prioritize getting this feature added in as soon as possible. I live in PowerPoint for my job and it's such a pain in the backside not having this option available.
Thank you!

I want default "Insert Pictures" folder to be equal to the folder, where my pptx is.
E.g. if I have two files opened, "C:\somefolder\1.pptx" and "D:\otherfolder\2.pptx", when I click "Insert -> Pictures" I want it to start from "C:\somefolder" and from "D:\otherfolder" respectively. Or, even better, from "C:\somefolder\pics" and "D:\otherfolder\pics" respectively.
In Word, I'm at least able to change the default pictures folder via "File -> Options -> Advanced -> File Locations". But this still doesn't allow to set a path, relative to the file being edited. It would be nice, if there would be a "Default images location" setting, that would allow to set something like "$(FOLDER_OF_FILE_BEING_EDITED)\pics".
