Cura: Mistake in wiki, configuration page

[ArnaudTa]

Hello, this page in wiki could be improved.

$USER should be replaced by $HOME you don't have to explain it and the paths from wiki could be copy/paste directly in file manager.

Thanks.

Isn't it distribution/shell dependent which one gets set?

[ArnaudTa]

AFAIK it's true for all distribution/shell

Not in Windows apparently though: https://superuser.com/questions/607105/is-the-home-environment-variable-normally-set-in-windows

But for Windows, that page should really just use %APPDATA% instead of $USER/AppData/Roaming and %APPDATALOCAL% instead of $USER/AppData/Local. $USER is syntactically the wrong notation in Windows (not even recognised in a path), and it semantically wrong in systems that have changed the location of the roaming app data (eg stored on a network drive).

The link leads to the Linux section. I should have precise it in report.

[Ghostkeeper]

As far as I could find, for Linux indeed the $HOME seems to be available everywhere.

[Ghostkeeper]

Fixed it! Thanks.

For Windows we need to look into further improvements. Didn't anyone test that?

Thanks for the report, investigating Windows now

Updated, if there are further comments please raise them and I can make improvements.

The Windows paths should use \ (backslash) instead of / (forward slash). Also the HOMEPATH that is explained is not used in the paths.

Good points, updated.
