BUG: Launched programs have old environment variables

[nref]

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

Programs launched with Flow have the environment variables that were set when Flow started.

To Reproduce

I was debugging in Visual Studio 2022. My program loads a configuration value from an envrionment variable. When I change the variable and re-launch VS with Flow, the new instance of VS has the old env vars. If I re-launch VS from the Start Menu, it has the new env vars.

Thanks for a nice launcher.

Not a fix, but you can hit F5 to refresh Flow when you know an environment variable has changed.

Thanks mate. I didn't know about that. I'm totally willing to hit F5.
