Please, can we work directly in the H:\folder\ and have the submitter submit the //192.168.1.200/H/folder/ path?
The submitter seems to do some automatic "replacement" between these locations:
- file locations, if being placed in the Mount location H: (or //192.168.1.200/H/)
- environment variable HQROOT
Can it convert on the server (or the client) from H: into //192.168.1.200/H/ ?
I am on Windows 11.

If I understand it right, there is a way to submit from a local folder (without UNC)
- set the Network Folder Variable Name HQROOT to Windows Mount H:
- save the file in the H:\folder\file.hiplc
- submit the job
- on the server, H: is replaced with $HQROOT
- on the client, have the $HQROOT set in the houdini.env like this:
HQROOT = //192.168.1.200/h
- so... on the client, HQROOT points at the network drive
Everything seems to work, is it common to have such overrides?
Local access to a drive (without UNC, when developing the file) can be much faster.

I have also noticed in the documentation, that the proper place to set the HQROOT override is not in houdini.env, but here:
C:\HQueueClient\hqnode.ini (under the job_environment section)
