Variable working directory

[Boris99]

Hi, these are my first steps with LBC.
What I try is to hold the working directory variable. I have many scripts which works with directories, from they the script are started.
Works also fine with LBC if I set it as working directory.

My problem is that the working directory still change, so I'm looking for a possibility to hold the working directory variable.
So my 1st idea was to use an environment variable in the working directory field, but it doesn't work. If I set %windier% by the command LBC ignore it and change to program directory.

Any idea how to realize this?

PS.
It's possible to use envy. variables as parameter (using Arguments function), but I don't want to change all my scripts.

there is a Working Directory option for file items:


is that what you were thinking of? or maybe you are wanting to set the working directory when launching a script that you are launching while browsing a virtual folder?

1st thanks for your fast reply!

What I'm thinking of is to put an environment variable in this field like %WINDIR% or %MyStartingFolder%.
If I do it now the variable seems not be expanded, so my script starts still in LBC program directory.

ah i see.. i can make that field expand environment variables.

Cool! It would be nice if you could implement it in the next release.
I can't test the tool without this feature at the moment.

Thanks a lot!

Have a nice weekend!
