.Rhistory problems
2 messages · Vishy Iyer, Rob Goedman
Vishy, This is the problem that if the workspace is saved, R (R itself, not R.app) also saves a history file, typically with the name .Rhistory. This file is empty and overwrites an R.app history file with the same name. I suggest to change the R.app history filename (in Startup preferences) to something like .Rosxhistory or Rosxhistory or ~/Rosxhistory). Regards, Rob

Just upgraded to the latest R and I'm seeing a problem. When I quit R (using cmd-Q or the icon) and choose to *save* the Workspace image, it wipes out my .Rhistory file and makes a new, empty one. If I *don't save* the workspace image .Rhistory works as expected, meaning that my commands from the latest session are appended to the history file and available in the next session. I'm pretty sure this is new behavior as I used to do this all the time earlier. I'm using: R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22) R.app GUI 1.33 (5582) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Has anyone else seen this, and is there a fix? Sorry if this has been answered - I've been away from this group for a while and it looks like it's impossible to search the group... (In the past I've dealt with a .Rhistory file problem because I was using q() at the prompt. Using cmd-q or the switch icon on the GUI fixed that problem back then). Thanks, V.
