Environment variables still have version number "6" in them.
Description
Environment variables still have version number "6" in them, such as:
KICAD6_3RD_PARTY /home/paul/.local/share/kicad/7.0/3rdparty
KICAD6_FOOTPRINT_DIR /usr/share/kicad-nightly/footprints/
In my opinion there should not be a version number in those names at all. They are not global variables and each KiCad installation has it's own configuration, so different KiCad versions would not conflict even if the names are the same.
The screenshot above is from my Linux system, and the library still points to a kicad-nightly directory while on the user forum they are pointing to to a "KiCd\7.0" directory:
