interactive=TRUE #4

Closed Jean-Baptiste-Camps closed 6 years ago

Jean-Baptiste-Camps commented 7 years ago

In my opinion, we have to alternatives if we want to implement the interactive=TRUE option:

  1. ask the user to set all necessary input at the command level;
  2. Offer some default values or choices, in the hope they will have an average efficiency (risky).

I reluctantly agree with your evaluation of option 2 - kind of risky... Let's settle for option 1.

Jean-Baptiste-Camps commented 6 years ago

Well, 2 would be good if we had a reliable way of estimating defaults. It is a longer way, it could make the software more usable, but also it could make it outputing cr*p.

Jean-Baptiste-Camps commented 6 years ago

Now implemented as ask = TRUE.

Jean-Baptiste-Camps commented 6 years ago

With a mix of both choices.
