My bad. Latest R and R studio desktop version. MacOS Sierra 10.12.6

It appears RStudio doesn't have permissions to create the .rstudio-desktop folder in your home directory. You could try something like:

sudo chown $(whoami) /Users/$(whoami)

You might also want to confirm permissions on your home folder with:

stat -l /Users/$(whoami)

Thank you. I have done this. It appears to have worked.
