            Bug ID: 858
           Summary: setting "FIJI_PREFS_DIR" without effect
           Product: Fiji
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ImageJ1
          Assignee: imagej-bugs at imagej.net
          Reporter: Goosmann at mpiib-berlin.mpg.de

Despite having set  "FIJI_PREFS_DIR" to an exsisting and writeable path
(C:\Fiji_Pref), Fiji uses an invalid path obtained by
system.get.property(user.home) See bug 187. Trying to save preferences results
in an error message: "error saving preferences
\\fileserver\profiles$\Desktop\.imagej\IJ_Prefs.txt (Zugriff verweigert)"
I checked whether a beanshell skript can retreive the set value of 
"FIJI_PREFS_DIR" and what FIJI uses as PrefsDir instead. See content of
beanshell window below:

Starting BeanShell...
All ImageJ and java.lang and TrakEM2 classes imported.
Ready -- have fun.
>>>
>>> e = System.getenv("IJ_PREFS_DIR")
C:\Fiji_Pref

>>> print(ij.Prefs.getPrefsDir())
\\fileserver\profiles$\Desktop\.imagej

>>> ij.Prefs.savePreferences()

The last skript command leads to said error message.
