In SciViews/svDialogs: 'SciViews' - Standard Dialog Boxes for Windows, MacOS and Linuxes

svDialogs To Do list

• In GitHub actions, reimplement the travis after_success: Rscript -e 'covr::codecov()'

• The \n and \t in menu commands result into n or t, not \n or \t in xvkbd cmd.

• Create as many tests (testthat) as possible, given most of the code is supposed to be used interactively, and thus, is not (easily) testable automatically.

• A complete vignette, with rationate, explanation of mechanism to dispatch dialog boxes, example of input dialog box on all supported platforms, and further explanation for all supported dialog boxes.

• Reexpose useful svGUI functions.

• Find a solution for dlg_open(multiple = TRUE) on RStudio (not supported yet).

• Find a better solution for textual dlg_open(multiple = TRUE): allow for globbing and for folder indication followed by a list selector of files in that directory that match filters.

• Find a better solution for dlg_message(type = "yesnocancel") on RStudio (since I can only display two button, we first ask 'yes'/'no', then ask to confirm). This is the same with zenity, but since yad is advised on Linux, we don't care much.

• Menus for MacOS, RStudio, and RTerm.exe under Windows.

• dlg_form() for MacOS, Windows and RStudio, as well as, a better text version.

• For MacOS one can also use:

  • osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to choose color default color {12, 56, 78}' # Warning: 0-65535!

• rstudioapi provides askForPassword() => implement it, including other versions (use a yad form in Linux).

• Translation into different languages.
