It might not be that simple. What will happen to persist for global apps if this variable is defined?

[HUMORCE]

that's a good suggestion, but i dont endorse it.

for this case, just add another environment variable?: SCOOP_PERSIST_GLOBAL env variable game? i dont think this is the focus for scoop, but it is acceptable.

@candrapersada make a PR on this to change my(or ohter people's) opinion.

Too many config options will result in a mess.

@candrapersada what is your use case?

[Sei-lus]

I like the idea a lot. In my case I use multiple partitions to safe guard scoop apps but having this would be a good idea.

Make SCOOP_PERSIST default to the current scoop directory and only upon user interaction by adding or editing the variable as to not make it a mess.

:sparkles: It will help move the npm bin and cache folder to the Dev Drive automatically.
