Import dataset function from RStudio?

[phahn57]

I often deal with new csv data from different sources and different formats: seperated by "," or ";" sometimes german Umlaute, sometimes not. The import dataset in the files tab was a useful function to get an useful read_... very quick. Is there a similar function within Positron?
Thanks for your help

I have two things to point you to:

• First, you can click on the .csv directly from the File Explorer to pop it open in the Data Explorer, without using R or Python. You can read more about that in our docs (look for the bit about "directly opening") and I find it is often a helpful way to get an idea of what's in a file before setting up my main analysis.
• We are tracking an RStudio-like feature for importing datasets via UI in Request to add an "Import dataset" feature #5515, if you'd like to add a 👍 or any additional info on your use case.

Thank you Julia. I added additional info to #5515. On my way I found readr::guess_encoding(), which gives me the information about the encoding even easier than import dataset.
