    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thank you Victor. I updated to the
      experimental version of the Processing Plugin and it is working as
      you explain. I like the new editor too. <br>
      <br>
      I think the tag name is ##passfilenames and not ##passfilename as
      it is written in the user guide. <br>
      <br>
      I noticed that ##passfilenames only effects input files. Is there
      a way to specify an output file that is not output using
      writeRaster? The reason I ask is that I sometimes need to process
      an image in blocks using the Raster package WriteStart,
      writeValues, and writeStop functions. It would be great if there
      was a tag that would allow me to specify an output file that could
      be used in that instance and still output the image in QGIS. I
      have a workaround but it would be great if there was a more direct
      way to do it.<br>
      <br>
      Thanks again for all your help.<br>

      <div dir="ltr">No, that's not the idea off ##passfilename, the
        idea is that, instead of getting an R variable that is already a
        vector/raster layer, you get a string with its filename, so you
        can use it in R as you like. This was mainly done to allow the
        user to open a raster layer using a different package, and not
        use a fixed one and provide the layer object directly. So, if
        you declare a variable "mylayer" as vector layer, Processing
        will ask the user to select a vector layer, but the "mylayer"
        variable will have the path to the selected file. If you do not
        use ##passfilename, Processing will add some extra code, so the
        variable will already point to a data object created based on
        that filename.

              <div>Hi Victor - <br>
                <br>
                Yes, I am using the version of Processing that comes
                with QGIS 2.0.1.<br>
                <br>
                I played with it some more today and I don't get an
                error if I use ##passfilenames (I added an "s" at the
                end) but it still didn't seem to work. I'm assuming that
                using ##passfilename will simply declare the directory
                path and file name as a variable instead of actually
                opening the file. It's quite possible I don't understand
                the intended functionality. <br>
                <br>
                Can you let me know the best way to make comments or
                make feature requests related to the R scripting
                capability. I'm glad I finally got around to trying it
                out.<br>

                          <br>
                          I am trying to learn to write R scripts using
                          the Processing Toolbox. I have a random forest
                          image classification script that works in the
                          processing toolkit but I'd like to modify it
                          to do more complex tasks. I think I need to
                          use the ##passfilename tag but every time I
                          add that to a script I get an error that I
                          pasted below. I tried several different
                          scripts and every time I add the
                          ##passfilename tag I get the same error. Does
                          the ##passfilename tag  need other parameters?
                          If anyone knows what the problem might be or
                          has pointers about how I can find the problem
                          please let me know?<br>
                          <br>
                          This R scripting capability has a lot of
                          potential and I'd like to write a guide on how
                          to use it but I still have a lot to learn
                          myself.<br>
