I am using the downloaded EnvPane-0.6 from the link mentioned in the repo.

El Capiton 10.11.6.
I logged in as an admin.

What version of EnvPane are you using. Did you download the official release or
did you build it yourself?

• Downloaded official release 0.6

What version of OS X are you using (or attempting to use) EnvPane on?

• Sierra 10.12.6

Did you install EnvPane for the current user only or for all users? I admit,
that's a bit of a trick question.

• Current user

Did you install EnvPane as an administrative user?

• Yes

Can you provide relevant system.log messages? You can use the Console
application to get those: Hit Cmd-Space, type Console, hit enter (the Console
app should open), click on system.log on the left, click the search bar at
the top and type Env to filter the list. Copy and paste it below but be sure
to redact any confidential informations such as account names, IP addresses etc.

Hi,

I just noticed that with my home directory being mounted from a EXT4 formatted disk on the server, the env pane does not work. It installs but when I try to open it it says "Failed to load/start agent".
With my local admin account it works without problems.

hi

on El Capitan, when i try to install, i get "Failed to write agent's launchd job description"."

any plans to upgrade?

thx!

Feature: Dinamic env values like JavaHome

Exemple:

JAVA_HOME = $(/usr/libexec/java_home)

Admittedly not the greatest of errors, but it just caused some confusion. If you see any way to fix it, it would be nice.

To recreate

1. Set a variable in EnvPane
2. Open iTerm
3. Restart computer and check the checkbox for restarting all applications
4. When computer restarts, the iTerm application no longer see the variables set in EnvPane

Workaround: Restart iTerm

What version of EnvPane are you using. Did you download the official release or
did you build it yourself?

Latest official, 0.6

What version of OS X are you using (or attempting to use) EnvPane on?

Sierra

Did you install EnvPane for the current user only or for all users? I admit,
that's a bit of a trick question.

Current user only

Did you install EnvPane as an administrative user?

No

If I put the following in /etc/launchd.conf:

setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

As a consequence of that PATH for Applications gets modified from:

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

to

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

If I comment the line from above in /etc/launchd.conf, reboot and use EnvPane to set the PATH, the PATH does not get prefixed with /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin: in normal applications. As far as I can see EnvPane is creating:

~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

in my $HOME with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>PATH</key>
    <string>/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin</string>
</dict>
</plist>

But it looks like OS X does not use the content of ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. Is there something wrong with your agent?

How do I test? I wrote a small Java program dumping put the PATH as follows:

public class Main {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        System.out.println("PATH=" + System.getenv().get("PATH"));
    }
}

My expectation of EnvPane is to get the environment variable in my application exact the same way as I defined it in EnvPane itself, without rebooting my box, Please correct my if I am wrong.

I found the following output in my logfiles while filtering for net.hannesschmidt:

Just tell me if you need more details or some other information. I am running 10.8.3 at the moment.

A cool feature is a option to enable/disable, think about proxy settings, perhaps the user wish disable at home and in the work enable it!

Thanks!

Title says it all. There is no dark theme in Mac OS Mojave.

What version of EnvPane are you using. Did you download the official release or
did you build it yourself?

0.6 downloaded from the releases on Github.

What version of OS X are you using (or attempting to use) EnvPane on?

Catalina version 10.15.7

Did you install EnvPane for the current user only or for all users? I admit,
that's a bit of a trick question.

Current user only (as required for it to work, I see the trick. 😄 )

Did you install EnvPane as an administrative user?

Yes my user is an admin and it asked for the password during install as I recall.

Can you provide relevant system.log messages?

Feature request, logs not needed.

Env Pane is a super nifty tool to easily manage env variables. My only concern is that the values are shown by default as fully as they can be. This means if someone is screen recording or sharing then the values could be leaked in full. Rather than doing a per-item toggle or password protect the whole entry (as #8 requested) it might be best to do all values as masked inputs. Then add a toggle for going between masked/cleartext mode to the right of each row.

This would allow all values to be safe, while only exposing those which you want to show for demonstration or educational purposes.

When recently installing EnvPane on a new MacOS 10.10 box, I misclicked and did the installation for all users. Trying to start it, I got a complaint that this is not supported and I need to uninstall and reinstall it for a single user. However, this apparently doesn't work, I'm stuck in an endless loop of uninstalling, reinstalling for the single user and getting the complaint that installation for multiple users is not supported. Apparently, "somewhere" "something" must have been stored by that initial mis-install, which I can't rid of by uninstalling. Any idea how to fix this?

Although changes to the variables are picked up when an app using that variable is restarted, if a variable is deleted, a restart of the computer is required.

The pref pane is just blank. I have tried restarting my computer.

What version of EnvPane are you using. Did you download the official release or
did you build it yourself?
v0.8, official release

What version of OS X are you using (or attempting to use) EnvPane on?
13.2.1

Did you install EnvPane for the current user only or for all users? I admit,

All users

Did you install EnvPane as an administrative user?
... I think? I only have one user on my computer.

Looks like there aren't any

Hello @hschmidt:

This is just a quick note to let you know that I am recommending EnvPane to fldigi* on macOS users that require NLS support in their amateur radio operation.

Thanks for releasing EnvPane. It is a great solution for managing the environment variables in macOS.

Regards,

• Fldigi is a software modem for Amateur Radio use. It is a sound card based program that is used for both transmitting and receiving data in several modes using voice radio channels.

Can we have a feature to export and import them to another Mac, so we can share our credentials between Macs?

The problem with Calatina is that it does not support anymore 32bit applications and we might need to re-compile this to support 64bits.

Version:

0.6 from GitHub

OS:

BigSur on a Macbook Pro M1

The same version works on a non-M1 iMac,
that's why it's a different problem than #31

Hi there,

great application very useful Thanks a lot.
Just a feature request or idea.

Wouldn't it be a good security feature to password protect the Pane on opening it?
Would be nice not to have them visible right away.

This is due to missing ~/Library/LaunchAgents directory.

When trying to open the PrefPane, I get this message:
'"EnvPane.prefPane" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
This software needs to be updated.
Contact the developer for more information.'

What version of EnvPane are you using. Did you download the official release or
did you build it yourself?

Version 0.7, downloaded from GitHub

What version of OS X are you using (or attempting to use) EnvPane on?

Ventura 13.2.1

Did you install EnvPane for the current user only or for all users? I admit,
that's a bit of a trick question.

Current user only

Did you install EnvPane as an administrative user?

Yes

There is nothing in system.log, probably because the PrefPane isn't loading at all.

Since this project was last edited in 2013, I am wondering, is it still alive?
Is the current version still relevant to Yosemite?

If the project is dead, can you recommend an alternate project?

Not an issue. I did not found email or twitter handle, so, I put it here :

It works well (I use macOS 10.12.3), it's very handy, simple and effective.

Thanks you for this tool.

Hi! I use OS X 10.12.2 Sierra and I found that after I click launch EnvPane on System Preferences it show " Failed to load/start agent" any solution?

Hello. I have downloaded EnvPane directly from git.
I am using MacOSX Catalina and of course, I have installed for my user only, as a normal user (not sudo).

I have set a variable in it, TEST_VAR and gave it a string value, "John Smith". I have opened a new terminal and echoed $TEST_VAR but it was empty. How exactly is this supposed to work, please?

Not a showstopper but I would like to find out why this happens.

If I open the pane in the settings app, it only shows an empty, not for dark mode optimized Pane!

Hey,
I was basically having an issue with js2coffee plugin path on sublimetext 2 as below
nibblebot/sublime-js2coffee#5

Then came across this stackoverflow link to resolve the path problems on mac for GUI apps.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135688/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x/

Tried to install the EnvPane but am getting an error as
"You can’t open Environment Variables preferences
because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac"

Screenshot attached

I was attempting to use EnvPane with my Android Studio build which is found in OS X at "/Applications/Android Studio.app". Because of the space I tried to setup my environment variable by escaping the space ("/Applications/Android\ Studio.app") however it doesn't allow this to work in Terminal when calling "cd $MYENVNAME". Am I doing something wrong or does it not support spaces in directories at this time? Thanks
