Expand 13 | Basics Windows and Editors Reference > Help preferences $IMAGES/sgi/mandrill.gif is entered, the unexpanded name $IMAGES/sgi/mandrill.gif is displayed in the file texture's Image Name textfield. Should the recipient field be exportable, that field is output in unexpanded form. Environment variables are automatically expanded by the Maya File Browsers. This is the default setting for the preference and also the behavior consistent with previous Maya releases. For example, if the environment variable $IMAGES is set to /usr/images, and the pathname $IMAGES/sgi/mandrill.rgb is typed into the pathname textfield of a Maya File Browser and the user accepts the current selection, the typed pathname changes to the expanded name; that is, /usr/images/ sgi.mandrill.rgb.
