That sounds good, at least user knows that it is used and cannot be changed (because there is a global external var)

Hi,
in windows if the ENV var is defined by the system (i.e. SETX KISYS3DMOD
"local_path"), the previous behavior was to respect the system defined
var, and the kicad internal var was 'greyed' in Preferences, Path
Configuration
