'Save as PDF' window won't go away

Hi,

In R.app, when I bring a Quartz window to the foreground and choose "Save
As..." from the File menu, I can save the window successfully.  But when I
switch to another application and back to R.app, the window with title "Save
Content of Quartz Device to PDF file" is back, and can't be dismissed.  Its
"Save" button is greyed-out, and its close button in the upper-left corner
is also greyed-out.

The only way I seem to be able to make this window go away is to quit R.app.

Ken,

If you re-install the GUI, version 4773 from Simon's web site  
( http://r.research.att.com/ ), it should be fixed.

Let me know if this helps,
regards, Rob

Thanks, that indeed seems to do the trick.

Is there a change log somewhere (besides in the repo, which I'm actually not
sure where to find) that shows what's changed between pre-release versions?

If you use svn you can use 'svn log | more' or at the NEWS file in  
the source
distribution.

Thanks, but where can I find the SVN repo?  I couldn't find a reference to
it on http://r.research.att.com/ , the only reference to SVN I could find
there is for how to get the latest sources for gcc.

I've just put together an RSS feed of changes to the NEWS and CHANGES 
files in R.  I'd be happy to add the Mac R GUI changelog, if it could be 
reformatted into a format that readNEWS() can understand (or if readNEWS 
were improved to be able to read it...)

For now, the RSS feed is at 
http://developer.r-project.org/bloxsom.cgi/index.rss (leave off the 
index.rss for the full list).  The URL and format are likely to change.

Hi Ken,

Actually, much simpler, the NEWS file is available under the Help  
menu of the GUI.

I'm getting the impression that the SVN repository is not publicly
available, is that the case?  If so that's fine, but if it is available I'm
still interested to know where it is so I can poke around at things when I'm
curious.

Thanks,

Ken,

Of course it is publicly available: svn co https://svn.R-project.org/ 
R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI Mac-GUI

You will have to install subversion, e.g. from: http://metissian.com/ 
projects/macosx/subversion/

You need permission to commit, but above command will create a dir  
'Mac-GUI' with an Xcode.proj file.

In the Mac-GUI dir, after the initial copy, you can just do 'svn up'  
to update.

Regards,
Rob

FWIW, you can access files directly without subversion, e.g. the most  
current NEWS file is always at
https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/trunk/Mac-GUI/NEWS

Cheers,
Simon
