In ezpickr: Easy Data Import Using GUI File Picker

• Nested data.frame objects alike are unnested in viewxl() function.
• Cleaned up source code indents for better readability.
• Reduced package title less than 65 characters.

ezpickr 2.0.0

• readr has been replaced with vroom package for a better performance.
• Supported "*.R" file in pick() function.
• Package startup message has been removed.
• view() function, which has been deprecated, has been removed (please use viewxl() moving forward).

ezpickr 1.2.0

• DocumentTermMatrix and TermDocumentMatrix class are now supported in viewxl() function.

ezpickr 1.1.0

• "*.Rmd" file format is now supported in pick() using rmarkdown::render() function.

ezpickr 1.0.5

• pick() and picko() functions now allow users to specify value-separator parameter using delim option for *.csv, *.csv2, and *.tsv files when the expected delimitters are not used. For example, in any event your csv file is separating each value using whitespace instead of comma(,) do the following:

data <- pick(delim=" ")

ezpickr 1.0.4

• "xpt" file format is now supported in pick() function.
• Atomic class (vector) is now supported in viewxl() function.

ezpickr 1.0.3

• A critical bug that users cannot use the additional arguments of readxl::read_excel() for an Excel format within both pick() and picko() functions has been resolved; by default an Excel file with multiple sheets is returned as a list object when users have not passed any additional arguments.

ezpickr 1.0.2

• purrr package has been added to the import package list to efficiently return multiple Excel sheets as a list of tibble; this way offers a better performance than the previous lapply() mechanism.
• Users can now access a multi-sheet Excel file with each sheet name as well as its index number when using pick() and picko() functions.
• A bug that users cannot utilize explicit Korean path/file when mode option is specified in pick() function has been resolved; Korean users now can use explicit Korean-included path/file in picko() function as well.
• view() function is now deprecated to avoid any collision with tibble::view() function which has the same name; users are recommended to use viewxl() function in the future instead.
• view() and viewxl() functions now return a tibble object reflecting users' real-time manipulation done in Excel.
• view() and viewxl() functions have been fixed to process multiple sheets as a list object.
• mbox file format is now supported in both pick() and picko() functions using mboxr::read_mbox() function under the hood.

ezpickr 1.0.1

• New function picko() has been added to assist Korean R users in importing Korean-included path/to/file as an alternative of pick() function; other non-Korean R users can still employ the existing pick() function.
• A more robust mechanism has been applied to a file path that contains any Korean characters.
• pick() and picko() functions now automatically return an Excel file that contains more than one sheet as a list of each Work Sheet (Thanks hyun seung Lee for the suggestion via email).
• view() function now internally employs writexl::write_xlsx() function instead of readr::write_csv() to create Microsoft Excel file to provide users with a stable encoding consistency; since this change, mode option of the view() function has been removed.
• table class is now supported in view() function by automatically converting it into data.frame class.
• Startup message has been added to the package so that Korean R users can benefit from the newly developed picko() function when interacting with Korean-included dataset.

ezpickr 1.0.0

• mode argument has been added to pick() function to accommodate Korean R users' needs in terms of R session locale and encoding to Korean. Available values include "ko1" for "CP949" and "ko2" for "UTF-8" while both change R locale into Korean.
• view() function has been newly added to provide R beginners with a convenient way to place their data in a spread sheet application.
