Hi all,

Does anyone know why the run command does not resolve environment variables?

For example:

Changing "%PROGRAMFILES%" to "C:\Program Files" works fine.

Curious.

Cheers
John

Ahh I get it thanks.

Interesting that the same does not apply to openwith.

For instance this works:

openwith '"%DATA_DRIVE%\msys64\usr\bin\bash.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\bin\media_info.sh" -P -d"<curpath>"', s;

Yep, there's an inconsistency. I could fix it but that would probably break scripts.

Environment variables not resolved in the run command
