Hi

Double clicking bottom command: I want to keep dupes but double click
problem seems to go away if I just check "cleanup"; if "cleanup" is
necessary for proper behavior of bottom command, why have it optional?

Originally, during testing, the improper behavior occurred only occasionally, which led to that decision.

Rhistory: I have R.app writing to .engravRhistory and Cleanup checked but Remove dupes not checked. Quit still cuts a duplicate history entry at the bottom; but so what? A duplicate at the bottom is unnecessary, but cutting
it is unexpected

With 'remove duplicates' cleared, duplicates *at the bottom* are written to the history list/file but filtered out when the history file is loaded the next time R.app is started.

Setting 'remove duplicates' removes *all previous* duplicates in the history list as you go (to keep useful history as short as possible).

D&D: seems confusing if d&d a file does one thing and d&d directory does another; would seem that neither should override the setting since it says
"Always"

Agreed, it is perfectly ok to out of habit start R.app by d&d-ing a file or directory on the icon.

Anyway
With Cleanup checked
~/.engravRhistory locked in with the return
Understanding the common use of and location of .Rdata
Ignoring the little proliferating .Rhistory files

I may in fact be "good to go"

Thank you so much

Looks like it. Thanks for your effort.

And installing 64bit stuff is surely easier now

All thanks there (and the other 99.99%) goes to Simon. I agree, 64 bit works really well.

Rob
