    Support environment variables in config

    Description

    None

    Environment

    I would like to see support for environment variable support in the greenshot.ini like in the following to lines:
    OutputFilePath=C:\Users%UserName%\Pictures
    OutputFileAsFullpath=C:\Users%UserName%\Pictures\dummy.png

    This would it make more easy using greenshot in a portable way.
    Above used output path should be good for every user who started with the default ini file in the program folder.

    Thanks in advance

    I strongly support this feature request and believe this could easily be solved by applying the same templating used for OutputFileFilenamePattern to those other two Fields/Parameters (or consequently all paths in configuration…).

    We are already deploying Greenshot, but need to change the configuration due to pending infrastructure changes. We need to preconfigure OutputFilePath to something like “C:\Users\${user}\Work Folders\Pictures\Screenshots” in either greenshot-default.ini or even greenshot-fixed.ini.

    This is a tiny but very inconvenient weakness in an otherwise outstanding product, so I really hope you can make this change happen. Please reconsider your priority rating for this feature because it’s a huge PITA for administrators in large environments and likely very easy to solve.

    Thank you very much for all the great work you’re doing!
