Description

My issue is that I don't put my projects in the project directory. I prefer having them in my normal directory structure (in multiple discipline's test directories, next to other tests which are not AMC projects).

In which case, AMC doesn't actually let me open them; I had to create a new project (which I will not use) in the MC-Projects directory. This was confusing, and seems a bit silly. Same if the MC-Projects dir is moved or removed.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new project in directory ~/test/myproject
- Move MC-Projects to MC-Projects2 (or simply have an empty MC-Projects).
- Open auto-multiple-choice in gui
- Do Project->Open
- Get error message "You don't have any MC project in directory /home/alexis/work/lycee/applications/AMC!"

Expected behavior:
Open the normal "Open a MC project" dialog.

Workaround:
Add an empty folder (I called it "do_not_remove") in the Projects directory (by default ~/MC-Projects).

The development version of AMC is more friendly with directory changes.
However, you can switch to another directory from the open window, and then create a new project (which is a directory with AMC files) in your own directory structure.
