Dear colleagues, I wish to report a problem I encounter when trying to save a graphic to file. When I produce a graphic and try to save it R becomes unresponsive and I must force quit, and then restart R. The problem occurs when I try to overwrite an existing graphic: for example when I made changes to the graphic and want to save the graphic using the original file name. It only happens when I use the menus to save files, not using script. It doesn't happen when I save it as a new file. So, like this:
1. Make the graphic 2. Click File -> Save -> click on existing file name 3. Colour wheel appears and R is unresponsive. Reproducible example: x <- seq(1,10) y <- x^2 plot(x,y, type="l") # Save as new file, all fine. #Change plot and save as old plot file name: plot(x,y, type="l", col=2) # Click File -> Save # 'Save quartz to PDF file' box opens # Click on existing file name # Colour wheel Here is the sessionInfo(): R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit) Running under: OS X 10.11.1 (El Capitan) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base I'm not sure if this is worthy of reporting but I was encouraged to submit a report. It doesn't really make a huge impact on my workflow, but it can be annoying. -- Cheers, Neil Neil French Collier, PhD Faculty of Sustainability Leuphana University Lüneburg Rotenbleicher Weg 67 21335 Lueneburg Germany Twitter: @foodsecbio email: coll...@leuphana.de Google Scholar <https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?hl=en&user=xVdc-dsAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate> Ideas for Sustainability <https://ideas4sustainability.wordpress.com> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
