Multiple BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS path

Building Blender
1

Hello,

I am using Blender-5.0.1 on Linux.

I can’t find the way, if it exists, to setup multiple “system“ path for BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.

Documentation says we might get “multiple“ repositories.

ie:

/local/extensions/custom/system/myCustomExtension
/local/extensions/externals/system/external_CustomExtension

I can get only one of those (at once) loading extensions using;

BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS=/local/extensions/externals/system/external_CustomExtension

But I can’t load both repo (custom / externals) at once by feeding both to system extensions;

BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS=/local/extensions/custom/system/myCustomExtension:/local/extensions/externals/system/external_CustomExtension

Any idea?

thanks

The BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS environment variable does not support multiple paths. What the documentation is referring to is that in the preferences, you can add another repository and then under Advanced > Source change it to a System repository.

Thanks @brecht for the info!

I’d vote for a multiple paths support in future implementation for BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
