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
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.
