Configure idea.properties with username variable Follow
Hello,
I want to alter
idea.config.path=; idea.system.path=; idea.plugins.path= and idea.log.path= so that they contain the username like idea.system.path=D:/PyCharm/${USERNAME}/.PyCharmCE/system
However, this will create literally a directory with ${USERNAME}. When I echo %USERNAME% in Windows cmd I get my correct username.
What do I have to alter, so that Pycharm creates a directory with the username of the user that starts pycharm?
I'm on Windows 2012 ServerR2

Check the comments in idea.properties file:
"Use ${xxx} where xxx is any Java property (including defined in previous lines of this file) to refer to its value"
You need using java System properties (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/sysprop.html) here. So the right value would be:
idea.system.path=D:/PyCharm/${user.name}/.PyCharmCE/system
