XYplorer Beta Club

Situation:
For portability, I would like to set some paths using variables so that I can change them all at once when needed.
As for example, many of my favorites, applications, catalog items in XY are of portable softwares that I currently store in S:\Portables . If I migrate this folder to other computer, I may not be able to keep the same path and then the best way to update those will be changing a one-place variable.

Request:
Add a category "Variables" in User Defined Commands or List Management that allows the user to add his variables. These vars will be valid throughout the program just like in-built ones.
