Hmm... The reason I suspected the file is that every time I delete this
plist file, everything is OK again. However:
Other than some mystery "Shared" volume called "8e402800000" which my
OSX desktop tells me "connection failed," I don't have any oddball
mounts. I'm unable to collect any info on that volume, and I can't
eject, unmount, or connect to it, so I dunno what it is, but it is true
that when I run "GetInfo", the FinderInfo window goes into a spin while
"Fetching more info" so possibly that is the headache.
Any idea how I can remove that alleged volume from my Network list? It
doesn't show up as ejectable.
Terminal % ls -a /Volumes doesn't show any other entries,btw.

Carl,
I cannot replicate it even with your file. "Hang" in open dialog are typically
caused by the system - e.g. waiting for disks mounted etc. - R is simply waiting for the
system (LS/Finder) to gather information about all disks. I suspect you may be accessing
some disk (virtual or real) that has issues. The plist only has recent files, so I don't
think it's directly involved - the only thing I can think of is that it may be directing
the UI to the bad location. Is there anything you can think of that would cause volume
access issues on your system? (network mounts, virutal disks, etc.)
Cheers,
Simon

Hi,
I got the same corruption problem again that causes a spinning beachball hang when I try
to open a file via the "Open" dialog window.
This time I traced it down to a specific plist file, and have posted the bad
file to my GitHub account:
https://github.com/cellocgw/Rgoodies/blob/master/BADorg.R-project.R.LSSharedFileList.plist
If someone could take a look and see what happened to that file (or if a "bad"
file name somehow is causing the problem, e.g.), I'd be very greatful.
thanks
Carl
