Summary: FIXED IN SVN: Editor removes comments

Initial Comment:
When editing functions or scripts saved within a workspace, the editor strips all white spaces and comments (#). I'm pretty sure it's not a kate configuration problem, as it  only occurs within RKWard. Losing all comments is a rather enormous problem, and any help in retrieving them would be appreciated!
Running RKWard 0.5.1 on KDE 4.3.2 with R 2.9.2 on an x86_64.

Message:
A fixed release (0.5.3) was created, today. The workaround should be no
longer needed after updating. Thanks again for reporting.

Hello,

I assume you mean this scenario:

  my.fun <- function ()  {
      # comment
      print ("hi")
  }
  fix (my.fun)

We were wrong on that, indeed. Thanks for pointing this out. This is now
fixed in the SVN version of rkward (http://p.sf.net/rkward/svn).

Until a fixed version is released, you may want to use this workaround:
Source the following lines at the start of each session:

"rk.edit.files" <- function (file = file, title = file, name = NULL)
{
	if (!is.character (file)) {
		nfile = tempfile()
		env = environment (file)
		dput (file, file=nfile, control=c ("useSource", "keepNA", "keepInteger",
"showAttributes"))
		.Call("rk.edit.files", nfile, title, name)
		x <- dget (nfile)
		environment (x) <- env
		return (x)
	}
	invisible (.Call ("rk.edit.files", file, title, name))
}
options (editor=rk.edit.files)
