It's a classical form and, thinking on localization, could be usefull. In italian this could be translated in "Area di Lavoro" and isn't good. Other change is for the "Windows" menu that sould contain these entries: "Show R Console" "Show Output" "Show Workspace" "----------------------------" "Open Command Editor" \(originally submitted by danielemedri\) -- Labels: General --
Logged In: YES user\_id=300591 I've been thinking about this back and forth a bit before renaming it to "Workspace". The problem I have with "File" is that I'm not sure, whether it's really clear, what is meant by "File". RKWard deals/will deal with a lot of different kinds of files: \- workspaces \- syntax-files \- SPSS/SAS etc. files to be imported \- R-libraries \- output files Further, having started with SPSS myself, "File" there refers to just the active table \(as there only is one table\), while in RKWard you generally save/load several objects at once - a workspace. "Workspace" might not be the only word for it. Maybe "Project" would do, too - but do people generally see their data as a "project"?. And of course, the translation does not necessarily have to be all that literal, if you can think of a better word conveying the general idea in Italian. However, I feel "File" is not quite specific enough and may be misleading esp. to user migrating from SPSS or similar.
