Hi all, I don't know if it is a local issue on my hands or not, but after installing R-devel the output of grDevices::dev.capabilities()$paths is FALSE, while it is TRUE for R 4.3.3. Relatedly, I have issues with plotting paths on devel. At this stage, I simply would like to know if others running R devel and R 4.3.3 can replicate this behaviour and if there are obvious reasons why the observed change would be expected. Man thanks, Alex -- Alexandre Courtiol, www.datazoogang.de [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You haven't told us what that was. See the posting guide for the "at a minimum" information you also did not provide .... -- Brian D.
