yes, it occurred to me a few minutes after sending the mail... > that option and the column names are the deactivated settings i was > referring to, for write.csv() and write.csv2(). they are not all on the > same tab Yes. I see that now. And for the "append" option that is particularly unfortunate (but changing the default to "custom" does not help at that point, either; quite the contrary: If you first check "append" on the first tab, then select "CSV" on the second tab, you may be in for a nasty surprise!). Have you tried moving all format options to the first tab? Perhaps moving encoding to a less prominent place? > sure, this is only an idea. but let me explain how it came to this: firstly, > i was thinking about people who want to learn R; Yes, neither alternative is clearly superior to the other. But on the other side of the coin, listing all these parameters makes it harder to see just what you changed from the default. Besides, this still does not explain what other values are permissible for each argument. Particularly for parameters with non-obvious semantics, such as col.names (and I don't think anyone would guess the correct meaning of col.names=NA without consulting the documentation).

The additional thing to worry about is "passing information" between embedded and embedding plugin. The standard ways are: 1) Providing <external>-properties in the embedded plugin. 2) Generating code the usual way. The embedding plugin can retrieve that using getString ("embedded_id.code.calculate"); etc. Oh, one more thing: - The export plugin's .js code still lacks appropriate i18n()-calls. Consider utilizing the new Header()-functionality to make that easier (http://www.mail-archive.com/rkward-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02499.html). Regards Thomas
