misc 0.0.6

View helpers (R/view_in.R)

  • view_vd() and view_vd_nonint() are explicitly macOS-only: on Windows or Linux they stop with a clear error. Documentation describes this platform restriction.
  • New terminal argument: "terminal" (Terminal.app, default), "iterm" (iTerm2), or "auto". For "auto", the choice comes from the MISC_VIEW_TERM environment variable and then from options(misc.view_term) ("terminal" or "iterm"); invalid values trigger a warning and fall back to Terminal.app.
  • AppleScript-based terminal launch is unified (new window or tab in iTerm2 as appropriate).
  • The vd (VisiData) executable must be on PATH before opening the viewer; the error message points to installation (for example pip install visidata).
  • If vdk is on PATH, the command used is vdk <project_basename> <file>; otherwise vd --default-width=500 <file>. In view_vd_nonint(), the project name uses basename(here::here()), consistent with view_vd().
  • view_mapview_from_path() performs the macOS check up front because the workflow relies on view_vd_nonint() for the attribute table; documentation updated.
