Hello, i am currently trying to set up a simple shelf tool that allows the user to select some directories, and save the paths as variables like $CLIENT $SHOT $ASSETS etc. Everything is working fine, but the variables are not saved with the hip file, so i have to set them again every session. I am using "hou.putenv" to create the variables, is there a way to make them save with the hip file, or another approach to achieve the same effect?

I've never been able to find a pure Python solution, but calling
has worked for me.

Thank you! Works like a charm so far.

Have a look at Context Options [www.sidefx.com].

This also seems like it would work. Apart from having to use @ instead of $, do you know if there are any functional differences between the two ways of doing things (context options vs environment vars)? Or is it just a use whatever is easier situation?

Thank you for the guidance.
