Hello,

In the last 2 weeks, when I try to open a saved .rattle file I get the following error message.

I have tried this on 2 PC's with Windows 10 installed.

When I click on Open button in Rattle I get the following error message in the console.

Error in .RGtkCall("S_gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new_with_backend", title, :

Could not parse enum value load

I reinstalled R, RStudio, Rattle, and dependencies and got the same result.

Anyone else getting this error?

Thanks,

David

Thanks for the report Dave and thanks for also posting to StackOverflow. I decided to include a response here also since this is affecting many users. A workaround is posted to StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55304938/how-do-i-resolve-the-following-error-while-opening-a-rattle-file-error-in :

It looks like a change to the RGtk2 package from 2.20.35 to 2.20.36 has broken rattle. For now revert to the previous version of RGtk2.

For Linux:

> install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/RGtk2/RGtk2_2.20.35.tar.gz", repos=NULL)

For Windows

> install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.3/RGtk2_2.20.35.zip", repos=NULL)

I hope to have a fix for rattle soon.

Regards,
Graham
