aptana studio 3 path variables - aptana

I need to edit the path variables for a project in Aptana Studio 3 but the edit button is greyed out.
I mistakenly (unknowingly!) deleted the directories that the PARENT_LOC and WORKSPACE_LOC path variables point to. Now Apatana gives me an error when trying to autosave.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Those two locations are automatically set to wherever your project's workspace is located.
To change where the workspace is located you need to set Aptana to prompt you for a workspace location when you start it:
In Apatana:
Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Prompt for workspace on startup: Checked
You can type workspaces in the searchbox and hit Enter to get
there quicker.
Restart Aptana and it will prompt you for where you want the
workspace located.
Choose or create a new location for the workspace.

Cannot permanently Change R Working Directory - Windows 10

I am running R 3.5.0 64 bit on my Windows 10 laptop.
I can set the Working directory fine for my work space but I am unable to make a permanent change. Each time I reload it, it does not stick.
I changed my Start In file path to the new directory under properties when right clicking the icon.
I have also added setwd() with my file path in the Rprofile.site file
No matter what I do, it continues to revert back to documents when I run getwd() in R when I open it new.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to make it stick?
Thanks in advance
You could go the route of using an .Rprofile which is a way to run scripts / commands on startup.
Read about .Rprofile files here in Efficient R Programming
Also, has has been mentioned by #r2evans, if you're using RStudio, there is an option for setting the default working directory. It's under the General section of the Tools -> Global Options menu.

RStudio woes: How do I set the base directory for "Create New Project"

I included the line
setwd("~/my project base dir")
within .Rprofile, but this has no effect on the file selector after I hit the top-right menu "Projects" to either open or create a new project.
I am running R 3.4.4, RStudio 1.1.442 on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Using setwd() is sending a command to R, not RStudio, so I wouldn't expect that to have any effect. R is run as a separate process by RStudio.
I haven't checked the source code, but it looks like RStudio always starts looking for an existing directory in the current project directory if you already have a project open, or your home directory if not. If you want to create a new directory, it seems to offer first to create it in the same place as it did last time.
I don't think there's any RStudio API command to change any of this. But how often to you need to create new projects, anyway?

Unable to open Atom

I am unable to open my Atom Editor. It was working fine until yesterday, but don't know why it won't open today. No windows update or anything on my computer. I tried deleting the 'Storage' folder as mentioned in some online forums, doesn't help. Any suggestions? I am using Atom version 1.19.6.0.
If you're using MAC OS and have similar problem, try this:
Open Window tab
and then click Zoom.
Atom will sometime fail to open because of a bad configuration-file.
To better diagnose this on Windows (10), try running atom from a CMD window:
Open the task-manager and kill any instance of Atom that is listed there
Open a Command-window -
Ctrl+Esc > (type "command") > Enter
Go to where Atom is installed -
cd %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/atom/app-*
Run Atom -
atom.exe
If you see an error message at this point, it should help identify the problem.
If still not clear, you can try moving the main configuration-file,
which is in a different folder:
cd %USERPROFILE%/.atom/
rename config.cson config.SAVE.cson
Go to where Atom is installed (again) -
cd %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/atom/app-*
Run Atom -
atom.exe
Based on this answer on the Atom forum:
https://discuss.atom.io/t/atom-will-not-open-windows/47489
I experienced this issue when my Atom windows all suddenly resized to be so small I could not see or find them anywhere (some weird glitch with opening it from a full-screen window on an external display). I resolved it by command-tabbing (I think it's ctrl-tab on Windows, I forget) to my open atom application to bring up the application's menu bar, and then selecting Window > Zoom from the menu.
I am using Atom on Windows 10 64-bit, and had similar problems of installation and not running later.
You can do the following:
Empty Trash, and Temp and Prefetch folders.
Change the security and read only properties of the temp folder.
IMP > Disable antivirus and run atom it will work, later add the Atom app to exclusion list of your antivirus.
Open the task-manager and kill any instance of Atom that is listed there
Got to where Atom installed : Mine:> C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\atom
See this Image
Go to Folder indicated in the picture and find atom.exe by scrolling through the folder and open it and make a shortcut to desktop and it will work.
I found that mv command is not builtin Windows cmd as suggested by Gonen. So following the idea of Gonen, a working solution can also be like:
In windows explorer type %USERPROFILE%/.atom/, or manually go to the path
(in my case): C:\Users\hussainazhar.atom. Of course, go to your drive path accordingly. Close Atom application if already opened.
Simply rename the config.cson to config.SAVE.cson
Open up the Atom and now you can go to the settings :)
All you simply need to do is go the main directly where the file is located and open the FIRST folder.
After opening it, there you will see atom file, double click on it and it will be opened successfully.
The atom Window is just minimized, it gives the impression of not openning, but it is actually opening, again is just minimized.
I was able to see the atom interface, by maximizing the window using the keyboard:
on windows, it normally is Alt+SpaceBar+x.

Open current folder

I recently reinstall ubuntu 16.04 and matlab. The problem is now, there is no "Open current folder' option available when I do the right-click in matlab. I have tried typing "filebrowser" in the command window but nothing happened. Besides, there is no "open/view outside matlab" option available for images. Thanks.
Typing filebrowser in command windows opens the 'current folder toolbar', or selects that if it is already open. If you aren't able to get the 'open current folder' option after right clicking in 'current folder toolbar' then there is the path to current folder shown above the command window, you can just visit that using regular system file browser/explorer, and if you do not have that address bar then just type 'pwd' without the quotes in command window and you get the current folder which you could visit using regular system file browser.

RStudio gives "Incorrect function" when setting git as Version control

When I create a new project and select to create a new Git repository, or when I try to change the version control system in project options I receive a RStudio error stating "Incorrect function" with a big X and no extra information.
The below link has a similar issue, but their solution of changing the path for git.exe has not helped (i have tried all three paths)
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/200632528-Git-Error-Incorrect-Function
Some extra notes:
RStudio allows me to clone repository to set new working directory
Also git works in bash, so i feel this is an RStudio issue.
I encountered the same error. For me it also had to do with using a network path not a local directory for the project location (as for lewis1211).
Workaround: Map the network drive. E.g. Map your //server/share to some drive, say Z: (using map network drive, if you are using windows). If you set your project up under Z: then, it works.
If you have already chosen "git.exe" in RStudio --> Tools --> Global Options --> Git/SVN, then try to open Rstudio shell and type git init. In my case it showed "Permission denied", and after running as administrator the problem has gone.
This is only a partial answer if it fixes your problem: I reproduced this when trying to use a network path for a project location. When using a local directory no error occurs. Could indeed be an RStudio issue.
Run you R studio as Project administration.
This solves my issue.
SOLVED.
I had the same problem. The Git-RStudio-Connection fails but git is working perfectly in the CMD. When running the git init command in CMD it works and creates a .git folder. But running the git init command in the RStudio terminal fails with a message Warning: unable to access 'C:/Users/%username%/.gitconfig': Permission denied ... fatal: unknown error occured while reading the configuration files.
The Version Control Sytem (VCS) or git-Panel does not appear in RStudio and selecting it in the projects options leads to the same message Error: Unzulässige Function (eng. Error: Incorrect function).
A closer look into the .gitconfig file should give you a new solution approach hopefully without having administration rights. Comparing the installation on the integration worksation with a productive workstation shows, that on the Test-Machine an incomplete .gitconfig file is on C:/Users/%username%/.gitconfig and on the Productive-Machine a complete gitconfig file is on Z:/.gitconfig. By the way, Z is a mapped drive which is linking to the company's user-profile settings (see CMD > echo %HOMEDRIVE%).
According to this analysis there should be multiple possible solution approaches:
(1) delete the corrupt .gitconfig and hope the the system is correctly looking into your profiles directory
(2) complete the .gitconfig file that all necessary information are there. The message fatal: unknown error occured while reading the configuration files could actually be a hint, that the first message access... permission denied is false and the problem lies in the incomplete file.
(3) Be aware that there can be a confusion between ".gitconfig" as FILE and ".gitconfig" as FOLDER. Check this with changing directory with cd to folder and cat to show the file content. It will tell you that you cannot display a folder as file-content.
(4) Change the location of the config file with git config --file FullnameToGitconfig. e.g. git config --file %USERPROFILE%/.gitconfig or git config --file %USERPROFILE%/.gitconfig/gitconfig or git config --file %HOMEDRIVE%/.gitconfig etc.
