ezpickr (development version)

Experimentally supported subtitle files (e.g., “.srt"; ".vtt”; “.sub"; ".ass”) in pick() function using subtools GitHub package.

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).

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

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

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=" ")

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unused dependencies are moved to “suggest” from “import” field in the description file not to force unnecessary installation for users.
interactive() condition is added to the pick() example to avoid any error when called in a non-interactive testing environment.

NEWS file is added to help HTML page.
Authorship fixed for Soyoung Choi from contributor to author role for her considerable help for the pick() function.

Providing a sample test file airquality.sav for an example purpose.
Now pick() function returns a JSON file into a tibble form.
Returning a tibble form for RDA, RData, and RDS as well when pick() function is applied.
