History problems with R.app GUI 1.20
Vili, What are your preference settings for history (Startup preferences) under R.app? By selecting the 'cleanup history entries' the extra lines should disappear. R.app history is kind of a superset R history in that it does handle multiple line history, but unfortunately that means you cannot easily go back from R.app to R (the other way should be no problem). Regards, Rob

Hi! In short, I am experiencing the same problems as this poster: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-March/102264.html I am using R 2.5.1 GUI 1.20 (4535) installed from a binary under OS X 10.4.10. More verbosely: I installed R 2.5.0 on this machine two weeks ago, played around with it a little, and installed packages tm and Rstem. I also unsuccessfully attempted to install ttda. Today I returned to R with the intention of continuing from where I left off. Workspace objects were there, but the command history only contained a couple of dozen entries from my first session, the last entry being "library (ttda)" (after which I probably quit that particular session). I noted that new commands were being added to the history drawer, but not written to .Rhistory upon exit. However, .Rhistory was touched every time (timestamp updated). I proceeded to uninstall R 2.5.0 by removing /Applications/R.app, / Library/Frameworks/R.framework, ~/.RData, ~/.Rhistory and ~/Library/ Preferences/org.R-project.R.plist. I then installed R 2.5.1 without the additional packages, but the same problem persisted. I experimented with the "Save History" and "Load History" buttons with the same results as the poster referenced above. The history files produced this way look like this: $ cat h.history ls()# summary(x)# rm(x)# $ I then uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed again, and ran a short session. This time, the session history was saved successfully upon exit. However, in subsequent sessions the problem reappeared. I tried deleting org.R-project.R.plist but this had no effect. The text based interface invoked from Terminal seems to work properly and the GUI successfully loads the history produced by the text based interface. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! -- Vili Lehdonvirta
