Hello -- not sure if this is more a suggestion, but it would be neat if I could specify a env var for a path, ie %userprofile% %temp% --- sometimes
these paths could be long and saying it like this would be great
expand env vars

Re: expand env vars
Where exactly do you want to specify the environment variable?but it would be neat if I could specify a env var for a path
Note that you can already specify an environment variable in the Directory box at the top of the directory listing.
Re: expand env vars
In the "directory" input area -- now how I do this in a cmd window, I type
echo %temp > clip: ( this is tcc'ism )
then I can past ( ctrl-v ) in the directory area from the clipboard to display that path / folder
If I can just type %temp% into the directory input area it would save a step
echo %temp > clip: ( this is tcc'ism )
then I can past ( ctrl-v ) in the directory area from the clipboard to display that path / folder
If I can just type %temp% into the directory input area it would save a step

Re: expand env vars
But you can type %temp% here. After you press Return, it will be expanded to the corresponding directory. See the images below.If I can just type %temp% into the directory input area it would save a step
Note that this feature was introduced in V13. if you are still running V12 (or earlier), you will need to upgrade to the latest version.
