I cannot seem to get RStudio to honour rstudio-prefs.json in a custom location (on Windows). If I set the XDG_CONFIG_HOME to a custom place, I find my dictionaries and keybindings will be saved there, but the rstudio-prefs.json is not honoured. Any ideas how to get this working?
We are moving to a citrix environment, where out AppData is wiped regularly. We lose all our settings. It's super painful.
How exactly are you setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME? The preferences are read very early at startup (before R itself starts) so you need to set the environment variable prior to the launch of RStudio itself.
Eggcellent.. Will try to action this later today. Hopefully can get admins to set this to be persistent in our annoying citrix environment. Thanks again for help!
