[R] Associate a .R file with the RGui

[Amarjit Chandhial]

Hi Andrew/Petr,


Thanks for the replies.

In R Console if I run:

R.home("bin")

I get the following

"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-42~1.2/bin/x64"

which is where

Rgui.exe is (within the x64 folder there are 13 files in total: 8 . exe 
and 5 .dll).


In file Explorer if I right-click on a .R file -> Open With -> R for 
Windows GUI Front-End

RGui (64-bit) opens but the .R file does not appear in the editor.

In an R session, run this:

writeLines(normalizePath(R.home("bin")))


Right click your .R file > Open with > Choose another app > Check the 
box "Always use this app to open .R files" > Look for another app on 
this PC
Paste the directory found above, then select "Rgui.exe"

  Hi,


  My OS is Windows 11 Pro 64-Bit, I have R 4.2.2 and RStudio installed.

  If I double-click on a .R file in File Explorer the OS gives me the
  option of opening the .R in RStudio, or Look for an app in the 
Microsoft
  Store, or More Apps. Similarly with a right-click.

  I would like to associate a .R file with the RGui, not RStudio, thus
  when I double-click on a .R file in File Explorer the .R file opens in
  the R Editor in RGui.

  On my PC R 4.2.2 is located in "C:/Program Files/R/R-4.2.2/etc"

  Please can someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to
  associate?


  thanks,
  Amarjit
