Proble with File Explorer with "variables" in path

Published 10 years ago

I'm trying to use the session of type "file explorer" to open a local One Drive folder.
The real folder (sync. locally) is stored , for example i a path like:

C:\Users\<MyUser>\OneDrive - NameOfMyCompany (1)\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3
I want to use a "variable" in order to share the RDM session with my team members.
The only think that changes from me and my collegue path is the name of the user.
So I tried to use:
%USERPROFILE%
and try to open:
%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive - NameOfMyCompany (1)\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3
or $USERNAME$

C:\Users\$USERNAME$\OneDrive - NameOfMyCompany (1)\FOLDER1\FOLDER2\FOLDER3
But these do not work.

My RDM version is 12.0.2.0

Hello,

I was able to reproduce your issue on 12.0.2.0 but on the latest stable version 12.0.8.0 I wasn't able to. I used the following path:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\OneDrive\TestFolder
Replacing C:\Users\%USERNAME% by only the variable %USERPROFILE% also works.

Could you try the latest stable version to see if the issue is resolved?
