Environment variable(s)?

Help! I've just done something daft.

What environment variables should indigo have, if any?

Long story short - I got the latest version and decided to 'update' things, and now,''indigo' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

I'm not normally this daft, honest!

Hello herbicide,

and decided to 'update' things, and now,''indigo' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

What do you mean about things?

I do not have environment variable!
my first idea is about he the variable path, please give us some more explanations, windows, linux? and what you are doing.

Welcome here,

regards, Phil

Your environment variables are found as follows (in Windows): Right click my computer, click on the 'advanced' tab, click Environment Variables, and find 'path' in the top box.

I couldn't remember if I'd had to set one for Indigo (Yafray, Gelato, 3Delight all have one) so I did, and now it's not working. It continues to not work even if I remove all mentions of Indigo.

Help me!

[edit]
A search has turned up no mention of environment variables...

Why are you trying to invoke Indigo from some other path than the Indigo directory?

An environment variable would be useful if you want to invoke it from somewhere else.

Or just double click the damn thing

I know where to find the environment variables, but please be more precise about your problem.

Helps us localise your problem.

I repeat my question, what do you think about 'update' things

I type, now as I did before:
g:
cd indigo\indigo_06_test6
indigo scenefile.xml

and get:
''indigo' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

----

Now it works!

Does anyone have a hole I could hide in?

As to the updates, site or Indigo?

The site's great. Good use of Joomla.

Indigo's less noisy, more options in the exporter.

Keep up the good work!

INDIGODIR

for example:

INDIGODIR=c:\indigo

then you can start indigo wherever and it will find all it's stuff in c:\indigo

Which is what I've been trying to do with the scenefiles, maybe I got mixed up...

It works in ../indigo_06_test6, but nowhere else. IIRC (before I started meddling with things) it did. (hence the environment variables, which should enable it to do so.)
