I have 2 (related, I think) questions about positioning of windows within R.
1. I often work with a second monitor and sometimes like to arrange 1
or more plot windows on the second monitor, while keeping the console on the
primary monitor (so I can see things better). I used to be able to do this
(when using Windows XP), but it seems that now (using Windows 7) I can't
even move the plot window outside of the parent R window. Is this a Windows
7 issue, or something I can fix with R preferences?
Run RGui with --sdi I don't believe it was ever intentionally possible
to move MDI windows outside the frame.
2. When I use the file menu to change directories I noticed 2
differences from Win XP to Win 7. In Win 7, 1) the bottom of the pop-up
window is off the bottom of my computer, and 2) the directory tree defaults
to something close to the root, regardless of the current working directory.
In Win XP, the directory tree defaulted to the current working directory,
which made it easy to jump up one folder, etc. Is there any way to make this
the default behavior?
Ask Microsoft not to change the behaviour of their common controls API.
I am using R 2.15.1
Which is not current: R 2.15.3 will be released tomorrow. And you are
comparing an old OS (Win7) with a very old one (XP): R for Windows was
adapted for Win7 and before that, Vista, several years ago.
Thanks,
