Environment varibles ignored

silentguy · 05-22-2011, 03:41 PM

Hi!
I just installed calibre on a new pc (win7) and set the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY and CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM environment variable to point to a new folder, but for some reason calibre ignores it. Other werid stuff i noticed is that calibre-debug -g does not print out anything for me, it just starts calibre and then returns to the command prompt. still works fine on other pcs. has there be a change to the program recently? my other pcs are running an older exe and just load the new sources...

okay, problem solved. for some reason there was an invisible calibre running in background and whenever i started something new he just brought back the old one that was started before i set the variable. weird problem but probably windows fault not calibres
