File->Save brings up a dialog with the default directory correctly set to the R subdirectory.File->New File->R Script brings up a new "untitled" tab. File->Recent Projects->newproject gets me to the project. I can't just "close window." I kill it with task manager. The window without the new untitled tab takes forever to shutdown (like more than 5 minutes.So, now I'm going to try to shut both down and relaunch. I get an R session aborted error on the session with the new untitled tab. I try close the window without the new untitled tab. One with the new untitled tab and the other without. But now I seem to have two RStudio sessions open. File->New File->R Script pops up an untitled tab. So, now I have a skeletal project in U:\newproject (not in U:\xyyzzy\newproject as I wanted, but I'll live) and a bunch of libraries intalled in U:\Documents\R\Libraries.Lots of stuff gets installed in U:\Documents\R\Libraries (value of R_LIBS_USER).Get an "install packages" dialog indicating that creating a project with devtools requires an updated version of the devtools.Just set directory name to "newproject" and proceed to click "Create Project" Same bad behavior as before, but I persist. When I click on "open" it returns me to dialog, but nothing has changed (still has "~/" as the value). Use "browse" button on "create project as subdirectory of" to navigate to directory where I want to create package (~/xyzzy).Asks for "Directory name" (blank default) and "create project as subdirectory of" ("~/" default). get "new project" dialog with "Create R package using devtools" in title.files->new project->new directory->R package using devtools.tools->check for package updates (all packages up to date).(interestingly it tried to open a pakage I tried to create and then deleted, so some data had been saved somewhere). Install RStudio desktop for Windows () using defaults for all options.
Installed R (3.6.3) using defaults for all options (in prior installs, I was unchecking the 32-bit veresion and creating shortcuts).Delete everything in c:\users\dowloads (overkill, but just to be sure).Delete all installed packages (manually delete everything in c:\Users\Documents\R\Libraries, which is where I have defined R_LIBS_USER).Uninstall RStudio (via add/remove programs).I am working on a Windows 10 system with my home directory on U:\Documents which is synonamous with C:\Users\Documents.Second, I can't seem to save R scripts (complaints about invalid extension). First, I can't seem to create new projects anywhere but my home directory (U:\Documents). I am having numerous issues working with R (3.6.3) and RStudio () on a network mapped drive (U:) while teleworking.
