Environmental Variables

[atsumori]

Some sort of environmental variable support in PGP, either using Windows environmental variables or PGP internal variables would be greatly appreciated.

This would be useful for migrating profiles that link to an external file (say a sound file), as you could define the location of the file as an environmental variable and then update the environmental variable if the file moves instead of updating the profile. I know it's not a big deal to change one profile, but it would be a lifesaver for someone like me who has a hundred profiles all referencing the same locations. Also, it's a must for anyone that wants to share a profile that references an external file.

For reference, what I'm referring to is to somehow, for example, be able to redefine a path like "G:\Sounds\" to "%sounds%" so that

"G:\Sounds\MySound.mp3"

can be referenced in profiles as

"%sounds%\MySound.mp3

That way, if you reformat your hardrive or give the profile to someone who doesn't have a G drive, they can redefine %sounds% to wherever they put their file. Does that makes sense? I know it's not something in high demand for a lot of people, but if it's a quick fix it would be greatly appreciated!

Well there is some support for the Windows environmental variables... if you used "%APPDATA%\Sounds\" then that should work.
