Pseudo environment variables in wincmd.ini

[Sombra]

Currently isn't supported set the path as environment variables in wincmd.ini. For example: when is necessary set a path in a tab. (my documents, desktop, etc.)

I don't know if this is deliberate or is a technical limitation of the program.
Is planed fix it? or, exist another method for do it?

Set virtual folders isn't good idea for technical limitations with packed files and compare tool.

Hi Sombra
in the TC-Wiki page "Navigation" is a listing of supported virtual folders and Pseudo environment variables.
http://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Navigation -> Other virtual folders

There's a workaround to get the path to not yet supported environment variables:

1. Navigate to the desired location
2. Close TC
3. Reopen TC, the virtual folder should be opened again.
4. Open TC -ini file, look into [left] or [right] in which window the file is opened
5. Copy the saved value from the entry: "path" and use it for your needs.

Kind regards
Stance

You might add:

1½. Enable "Configuration" -> "Operation" -> "Save on exit" -> "Directories"

Otherwise it won't work (unless already enabled of course).
