Provide Flow Launcher program data in Environmental vars

[Garulf]

Providing this data can help a plugin determine which version of Flow Launcher it's running on as well as help find settings.

Would it be better to expose this via api(IPublicAPI)?

I don't understand, could you please explain?

These values should help a plugin determine what environment it's running in and act accordingly.

For example if my plugin uses some newer API calls I might check for Flow's version like so:

import os
import sys

if os.getenv("FLOW_VERSION") != "x.x.x":
    sys.exit(1)

I'm unaware of any method to retrieve output from IPublicAPI and act on it in Python.
