Hi,
I run KiCad in 3 computers. So far my environment variales worked well in all three with /home/user/ being substituted by ~/ for each computer in all the paths.
Since I installed v6 ~/ is not working anymore. Since /home/user is different for each user, it means the projects do not find the libraries.
Anyone has the same problem? Should I raise a bug or am I missing something?
The tilde variable expansion was removed in v6 because it requires our own implementation and is not standard across file systems (and is technically a feature of the shell you use that some programs have adopted). There was some discussion in ~ paths not resolved (Linux) - #25 by craftyjon, with the suggestion to use $HOME instead of ~/ in your variables.
Thank you very much, Ian
