You could try saving prior to quitting in the future if you
want to try
those arguments.

I just noticed the two arguments ascii and compress for
save. However, my .RData file was created by q() with yes.
The manual says that q() is equivalent to save(list =
ls(all=TRUE), file = .RData). There seems to be no way to
set ascii or compression of save through q function, unless
the q function is replaced explicitly with save(list =
ls(all=TRUE), file = .RData, ascii = T).

I haven't had similar experience but note that save has ascii=
and compress= arguments. You could check if varying those
parameter values makes a difference.

If R were to store all its workspace data objects in

instead of one big .RData file, then you could use a
revision control
system like SVN. Check out the data, work on it, check
it in, then on
another machine just update to get the changes.
However SVN doesn't work too well for binary files -
conflicts being
hard to resolve without someone backing down - so maybe
its not such a
good idea anyway...
On unix boxes and derivatives, you can keep things in
sync efficiently
with the 'rsync' command. I think there are GUI addons
for it, and
Windows ports.

Re: [R] Synchronzing workspaces
[Paul August] I used to work on several computers and to use a flash drive to synchronize the workspace on each machine before starting to work on it. I found that .RData always caused some trouble: Often it is corrupted even though there is no error in copying process. Does anybody have the similar experience? Not me. I use flash drives a lot to move .RData files around, without the slightest trouble. However, in my case, the involved machines are similar in their architecture and system, so I was not fearing trouble. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.

You could use a versioning system like Subversion or Git on the server but work with the local repository. I believe Git is the easier of the two to set up.

I tend to wind up with projects spread around the various machines I work on. I find that placing the directories on a server and reading them remotely tends to slow things down. I use Subversion. It works best with text, but can handle binary files too. So the idea would be to write scripts that either generate or load the data I want to work on, and source those at the beginning of a session. I always try to start with a clean workspace. Separate the code that does complex calculations into functions (and consider organizing it into a package, if it's big enough); put those functions in separate files from the scripts that run them on particular examples. This way you can run source(fns.R) to update the function definitions without re-doing all the simulations in your project.
