mattcasters opened a new issue, #7940: URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/7940
### What would you like to happen? When you start to use Hop it uses the `<install-folder>/config` folder as alternative for using `HOP_CONFIG_FOLDER` and `HOP_AUDIT_FOLDER`. I would like there to be a plugin that makes it easy to configure these variables, along with HOP_JAVA_HOME, HOP_OPTIONS and HOP_SHARED_JDBC_FOLDERS. The plugin would also provide a new `hop setup` command that accepts options to configure these things in the users environment. Depending on the choices made in the GUI, we could do things like: * Write or change these variables to the user's Windows environment variables * Write or change these variables in `~/.bashrc` on Linux/OSX * Write or change a shell script or cmd/bat file with the commands to set the variables We should default HOP_CONFIG_FOLDER to `~/.local/share/hop` on Linux/OSX and `<home-dir>/.hop/config` on Windows. We should default HOP_AUDIT_FOLDER to `~/.local/state/hop` on Linux/OSX and `<home-dir>/.hop/audit` on Windows. ### Issue Priority Priority: 2 ### Issue Component Component: Hop Config, Component: Other -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
