Be able to set an environment variable for the story file path #711

This would be a rather useful and probably simple addition for two reasons:

On my system Twine has difficulties to find the proper documents path. By being able to set a variable like 'set TWINE_STORIES=...' I can set a dedicated storage folder.
Twine would also become instantly portable

Thanks

A possible solution to #477.

I already tried to implement this little 2 liner, but I couldn't make twine getting build on windows with the current version.

Any news from the developers here? 😄

No news from this developer. I am considering something for the 2.4 series (not 2.4.0 however) and it'd likely be surfaced in the UI in some shape or form.
