this wasn't possible until half an hour ago. In the current SVN version, you can specify <browser type="file" allow_urls="true" id="file" label="File name"/> Unfortunately, supporting this in the "Import Data" dialog (as opposed to Import format->Import Stata) is not that easy. Since many (most?) R functions do not support urls, or not all protocols that KDE can handle, perhaps we could make an effort to support this in a more generic way. I.e. whenever a non-local file is selected, RKWard could download it to a temporary location and then pass that to R. I've put this on the TODO list. Regards Thomas
