.RData on Mac OS X
In 10.1 in the Get Info dialog you can associate filename suffixes with applications. This might work for double-clicking .Rdata. Of course, that only works if you can get the Finder to show it in the first place! There probably are some shareware or freeware appliations that will cause files whose names begin with "." to be shown in the Finder. Browse http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/index.shtml. I thought there was a System or Finder preference for this, but I couldn't find it. -Don

I use the Carbon version of R. Is there any problem with renaming the .RData file e.g. in RData? And is there any application on OS X like 'creator type convertor' to make the RData file doubleclickable? Anyway, loading the workspace file .RData via menu works fine!

Hi all, I recently updated my system from Mac OS 9.1 to OS X (Version 10.1). How can I use my currently invisible .RData files (created with R 1.3.1) on the new system? Is there a way to make these files visible/readable on Mac OS X?
Hmm. I had no problem whatsoever reading my old OS 9 files, nor some Windows _Rdata files and Linux .Rdata files... What are you trying to do? I usually open files by
load("path/to/my/files/.RData")
It shouldn't be a problem that the file is hidden. You just have to know where it hides... :-) But then, I'm running R from the command line under X11 and I'm used to the UNIX way of things. If all those file paths are irritating for you, you could start up OS 9 and rename your files to something else (without a dot at the beginning), then load by
load(file.choose())
which ought to appeal to you :-) Hope that helps (if not, write back) Kaspar Pflugshaupt
