.

The edit box "Backup Folder:"
of "Config > Backup"
will show me all items of %tmp%
as an drop-down display
but then again he tell me:



---------------------------
EmEditor
---------------------------
The folder '%temp%\_EmEd_Backups' does not exist.
Create a new folder?
---------------------------
Ja Nein
---------------------------



and then



---------------------------
EmEditor
---------------------------
Cannot create a folder.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------




Even the folder already exists.

Browsing for the full path works of course.


So i guess EmEditor doesn't really allow
env vars as path in that control?

It seems to me just your code to check the path
is not prepared to expand the %VAR% ?

If that is true... could that be improved please?

Hello Stefan,

Environment variables are not supported for the Backup folder. If this is something you desire, I will add this feature in future versions. By the way, this is not a plug-in feature, but rather an EmEditor core feature.

Thanks!

Well, since i use EmEditor portable
i just want to make this path portable too,
and pointing it e.g. to user profile folder
(You know: no matter if user is stefan or admin)
Or to a other partition which is defined by
an own created env var %Backups%.


But at least we can use relative paths here:
[ .\Backups ]

So i can life with that but to make EmEditor even more portable
i want to suggest to respect this fact on all places.
So,... if you find some time to implement this it would be appreciated .
