Request: DoubletDecon Shiny - change to platform-neutral shinyFiles directory selector #27

Open kmshort opened 4 years ago

kmshort commented 4 years ago

There are currently issues with shinyDirectoryInput which relies on clunky PowerShell Scripts and Batch Files to launch a native Windows-specific directory selection dialog.

This is causing DoubletDecon's "Select input file directory/output directory" widget in Windows to fail.

Until Shiny includes its own directory selector, can a platform-neutral library like shinyFiles be used to do this. It will remove a lot of code in your UI app.R, and will unify the code base for all platforms.

I'm having a go, but am failing miserably at the moment. I'll keep trying in my spare time though.

Hi kmshort,

Thank you for reaching out to me about the DoubletDecon UI on Windows. As you have already determined the setup for DDUI is only working for Mac, however I plan to update it to work with Windows in a future release as it's a pretty big priority for me. I'll look into shinyFiles when I go to make this change, thanks for the tip!

Best, Erica
