Open certain files in RStudio

[ck37]

Hello,

Thanks for all of the work integrating R and RStudio, it is much appreciated. After a gentle prodding by Yuvi, I would like to put in a feature request to allow a "launch binder" button to open rstudio-server and also have 1 or more files (R notebooks or source files especially) open by default within rstudio.

This would be a better user experience so that people don't have to manually open 1 or more specific R notebooks, but instead would have at least the main notebook already open (and ideally allow for 2+ files to be open). Maybe this is already possible?

It seems like this could be implemented as URL arguments and/or as an option specified in a configuration file.

Thanks, Chris

Do you know where the documentation is for these options in RStudio?

Unfortunately I don't. I haven't worked with configuring rstudio binder/jupyter launching before, but use Rstudio on a daily basis for general data science work.

I wonder if the rstudioapi could be useful here.

• trigger the file-open dialog window on a specific file
• open a project

Opening an Rstudio session when the user clicks on an Rstudio project file (.Rproj) in the file browser would indeed be very convenient.
