I'd like to setup a IDE Macro to be used in project output file path.

Since the value of this Macro is enviroment dependent (the directory of a web server) it can not be saved hardcoded in project options

I have in mind a feature that when an unknow macro is found a dialog is show asking for the Macro value then store in Session file.

I looked in Conditionals / Additions and overrides and could not find how accomplish this.

Is it possible with the current IDE features?

You can use $Env(WEBDIR).

How to change it later?
It would be a bad GUI. Users expect a browse button to select the directory.

Good question. There's no GUI to edit CustomSessionData which is used by some packages

Since there's currently no way, i will write an addon to register a Macro $CustomDir to save / restore from CustomSessionData.

In addition will create a GUI to edit stored values

At first look, should be easy. Will call again if get stuck somehow
