R help - Jan 2008 - save a plot from R graphics window (in Windows)

Dear R users

since R  2.6.0 when I try to save a graph from the Rgraphic device I find
that
the system becomes so slow that I'm forced to kill the process.
This usually does not happen at the beginning of the session.
The problem seems to arise when the system opens the dialog
window to choose the directory and file name.

(R version 2.6.1 under Windows XP)


Thank you all

Giovanni

You'll need to be more specific before I could investigate this.  Find a 
sequence of actions that almost (or at least most of the time) leads to 
the problem, and write it out in detail.  If I can't reproduce it, I 
can't fix it.

Please do it with the R-patched version; we're gearing up for a 2.6.2 
release, and it would be really helpful to catch bugs before that.

Hi

Are you sure this is an R problem? The "Choose" dialog can be very
slow
if you have networked directories that cannot be connected to. Windows
tries to connect repeatedly and each time waits for a timeout. Suggest
you check your mapped network drives.
