Same method for me (I only made it always visible to avoid the Shift). 19 Seconds on the first call, 11 Second later on a brand-new system. This is Click-To-Visible time, processing starts earlier, when I start Sweave with short files it has finished processing before the box is on screen. I normally start from scratch, so clicking .Rdata is not an option. I have given up the shell approach, using AutoHotKey instead, which is convenient since it picks the currently selected directory from Explorer and can also be used to start Sweave-make. #Include ExplorerWindowControl.ahk ; << Defines Shellfolder ; This overrides Start/R which I never use #r::Run,rgui.exe --no-restore --no-save --internet2, % ShellFolder() Dieter ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
