Note that in R you can set the current working directory with setwd() and this is very common in R scripts. I like the idea around #imageDirectory and #vmStartupDirectory or just #vmDirectory. And maybe renaming #workingDirectory to #userWorkingDirectory would be more clear? Assuming 1 image = 1 user? Cheers, Hernán
