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!

<excerpt>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?

</excerpt>

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 


<excerpt>load("path/to/my/files/.RData")

</excerpt>

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


<excerpt>load(file.choose())

</excerpt>

which ought to appeal to you :-)



Hope that helps (if not, write back)

You can rename it as you please, but naming it as .RData and putting it=20=

in the same folder as R binary is, will cause R to load that image file=20=

by default at startup.

You can double click on the file and OS X should pop up a dialog asking=20=

you "which app to use" (say..),  just choose R.

I hope this helps you.

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.
