> Shouldn't it be in one of the AppData directories? I asked that same question on twitter. Here was a response (https://twitter.com/bmwiernik/status/1419033079495147522): * But it's not for files that should be user-accessible, like a library (cf. Zotero has preferences in AppData , but library files in %USERPROFILE%/Zotero) * So, for example, in R's case it could make sense for the core packages to be installed in %APPDATA%/R/R-4.1.0/library" rather than "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.1.0/library" (either is fairly common), but user packages should be somewhere more accessible.
Here is a quote from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/app-settings/store-and-retrieve-app-data: "App data is mutable data that is created and managed by a specific app. It includes runtime state, app settings, user preferences, reference content (such as the dictionary definitions in a dictionary app), and other settings" I don't think libraries fall into the categories of state or settings. -Steve Haroz ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
