Thanks Philippe for your answer! It doesn't work for me, but I guess I have something wrong with Tcl/Tk.

This is something interesting for you. Could you echo to R-Help and R-SIG-Mac too, please? You will find a native Mac OS X directory selection dialog box in svDialogs. Install the package (you also need to install svGUI) and see ?dlgDir. It works both in R.app and in R run in the terminal. There is just a little time lag when you call of of svDialogs's dialog boxes the first time. It works the same on Windows and even on Linux/Unix, providing you have installed zenity there (search Goggle, installed bty default on Ubuntu, for instance). In case the required GUI elements are not found on a particular system, the function falls back automatically on a textual version at the terminal. So, it should work everytime! Don't forget to extract the result from the 'res' element... Something like: mydir <- dlgDir()$res Best, Philippe Grosjean ..............................................<¡}))><........ ) ) ) ) ) ( ( ( ( ( Prof. Philippe Grosjean ) ) ) ) ) ( ( ( ( ( Numerical Ecology of Aquatic Systems ) ) ) ) ) Mons University, Belgium ( ( ( ( ( ..............................................................

Dear users, I am looking for a function to choose a folder interactively, just like file.choose() but for a folder. I have found tcltk::tk_choose.dir() but R hangs when I try to do anything and I have to force exit. I've tried to reinstall tcltk with install.packages(), but "package ‘tcltk’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)" even though it's already installed on my computer (it comes with 'base', doesn't it?). From a Google Search, I have also found choose.dir(), but it looks like this function doesn't exist anymore since ages. Any idea?
