Managing Environment Variables

The Environment tab of your generic VCS filesystem's Customizer lets you manage your computer's environment variables. Most environment variables must be set outside of the IDE. The Environment tab allows you to enable and disable your system's environment variables for use in the IDE and to create new environment variables.

To create a new environment variable:

  1. Right-click the root node for the filesystem and choose Customize from the contextual menu.
  2. Click the Environment tab.
  3. Click Insert, enter the name of the new variable, and click OK.
  4. Under User-Defined Variables, click the Variable Values field for the new variable and enter the variable's value. Click OK to close the Customizer.

To disable one of your system's environment variables for use with VCS:

  1. Right-click the root node for the filesystem and choose Customize from the contextual menu.
  2. Click the Environment tab.
  3. In the Used In VCS collumn, deselect the checkbox. Click OK to close the Customizer.
