Hi Freddie,

Thanks, that works :-) After deleting the project and starting from
scratch I believe that's actually the only thing that fixes my problem
(setting the default in the settings did NOT work for me - AppVeyor is
ignoring that the same way it is ignoring what should be their own
default...).
The image variable is definitely treated different from other environment variables.
What I found:
Once you set it in the common environment settings in your .appveyor.yml (matrix/environment) configuration, any per-job setting will *not* overwrite. (Different from other environment variables.)
BTW. I would prefer time being invested in checking/fixing the PullRequest for ci-scripts that adds AppVeyor support. I don't have any feedback yet, and this is the main issue keeping me from replacing the existing AppVeyor integration in base (that you are trying to fix).
Thanks a lot!
