I am using FreeFileSync to synchronise my confit files between my PCs. It works brilliantly, but there is a small issue with some files which hold my “work” directory name - which unfortunately isn’t the same on all machines. And the programs with this config don’t support environment variables in the config.

What would be nice is if FreeFileSync could replace the environment variables for me, so the copy on the server had something like %WORKDIR% and the file on the pc had the actual directory name.

Is anything like that possible - either in FFS itself or as a utility that I could somehow run as part of a copy operation?
