Hello,
before I run ConTeXt, I set a (new) variable "HOME" to point to a particular directory.
ConTeXt changes its value during startup - it sets its value to %USERPROFILE% - I guess it is to unify environment somehow for all platforms ConTeXt supports; probably here:
---- data-ini.lua, ln. ~86 do
local homedir = osgetenv(ostype == "windows" and 'USERPROFILE' or 'HOME') or ''
if not homedir or homedir == "" then homedir = char(127) -- we need a value, later we wil trigger on it end
homedir = file.collapsepath(homedir)
ossetenv("HOME", homedir) -- can be used in unix cnf files <<<<<<<<<<<<<< HERE ossetenv("USERPROFILE",homedir) -- can be used in windows cnf files
environment.homedir = homedir
end ----
But anyway - would it be possible to store the original value of HOME environment variable (if set) before it gets changed during initialization - e.g. to a Lua table?
- I would need to work with the original value in run-time (Win7 / WinX; ConTeXt MkIV). I'll add
environment.oldhome being the original one (but no testing done here) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
