[GNC] Relocating user specific application data to another directory

[Geert Janssens]

It would require to set both environment variables:
GNC_DATA_HOME
GNC_CONFIG_HOME

On Windows they happen to point at the same directory but it's two different 
locations what GnuCash is concerned.

Can you post the environment.local file you tried to achieve this with ?

Regards,

Geert
