And "may be allowed" is not "will be allowed".
Which leaves the question open _who_ may -- or may not -- allow it. ;-)
I removed the automatic switch to "~/" if no path is given. As before I recommend in the man-pages to give the full path. However, I _still_ state that "~/" _can_ be used for convenience.
[...] It's fine if your documentation recommends the user choose that.? That's a variation on what I recommended to you (that you generate an error message that suggests how to avoid the error).
Yes, I've done that.
Off topic: I don't like it that on Windows tempdir is located at
"C:/Users/{Username}/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmp..." I strictly separate my
OSes (on C), software (on D), data (on E), backups (on F). Writing to
the system disk is not what I prefer. However, in my installation "~/"
resolves to "E:/Users/{Username}/Documents/"...
It can resolve anywhere you like (as long as its writable), by specifying the TMPDIR environment variable.
Agree. Though I can change it permanently in _my_ Rcmd_environ file, in a package I _must not_ change the users environment. Helmut
