Hmmm.. you sure that deleting ~/Library/Saved Application
State/org.R-project.R.savedState won't kill off that "history" ?
BTW, possibly coincidence, but since installing R version 3.1.2 Patched
(2015-01-11 r67421) I've gone 24 hrs without the OpenDialog hanging.

Updated info: I installed the latest patch version of R from research.att.com ,
and there are several things behaving differently. Now I do not get any files
opened when I open R, whereas previously all files open when I quit R re-opened
(even if I'd used quit() and had a normal end of session).
In addition, the Window menu no longer displays windows (such as files being
edited) which had been closed earlier in my R session.
BUT: I torture-tested by opening about 50 files inside R. I then force-quit R,
and then on restart, R tries to re-open all the files again! I'm guessing this
is desired behavior, to recover any lost work, but it's a bit unnerving. At
the very least, can you advise if there's a config file somewhere that I could
delete to avoid this recovery mode?
Send all thanks to Apple - this is how the OS behave now - I find it extremely
annoying, but AFAIK the app has no control over it, because they come as
regular open request to the app.
That said, nothing really changed on the R side - we didn't touch the R.app for
almost a year, so whatever you may be seeing has to do wither with your OS or
the build you picked.
Cheers,
Simon

Subject: [R-SIG-Mac] Still have hangs on Open Dialog Box
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
I thought this problem had gone away, but it's still hitting me.
Yosemite on a dual-core iMac, R 3.1.2 GUI 1.65 Mavericks build (6833).
I've verified Permissions and Disk, using DiskUtility.
What happens is: I select "Open" from the menu to try to open a new file
inside R, and I get the OpenDialog window, but the contents of the
current directory never fill the window; just spinning beachball of
death. I thought turning off DefaultFolder helped, but it didn't. I
have to force-quit R and delete the file "com.apple.finder.plist" from
my Library/Preferences directory to be able to successfully open a file
from inside R (as opposed to double-clicking on a Finder window's file
icon) the next time I open R.app GUI .
The only other thing I noticed is that, when R starts up, a whole pile
of previously-opened files are displayed and then disappear. WHen I hit
the Mac OSX "F10" function key to display all current windows
belonging to R, I got a strange (at least to me) display. All the
current windows are displayed but ALSO a long row of mini-icons
representing previously open (and closed) document windows. I posted a
screen shot at https://app.box.com/s/qutc86rujitb49geur8c ; this
appears to match my "Recent" doc list in the File Menu.
I don't know what causes that -- Microsoft Office apps don't do this,
but TextWrangler and GraphicConverter(for two examples) do. I don't
know whether it is related to R's misbehavior on my machine. All I
know for certain is that no other application I've tried ever hangs on
Open dialog boxes.
