Hi Katherine: This is outside my experience… but I wonder if you could try using a formulaic name for the output (output1, output2, output3, output4) rather than base the output name on the input file’s name. Maybe someone else has some experience with something like this? Brad — Brad Langhor

Hmm, unfortunately the paths have to be dynamically generated because this is basically just an upload tool, but for another filesystem on your computer other than the default (like Finder for Mac for example), in my case 'iRODS', so its not really feasible to have something like a file browser or

Hi: Yes - let’s say you have hard coded paths… you could put those into a select list pretty easily (just have the paths embedded like the bowtie wrapper does the paired-end vs. single-end select list). You might also want to consider a table lookup though. The bowtie wrapper does that for ref

Hi Brad, So with multiple selection dropdown lists this is possible? Do you have an example of a tool that can do this? Would it be possible to see an example of the tools you are talking about? Thanks for the help! Katherine On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 12:05 PM, Langhorst, Brad wrote: > Hi Katherin

Hi Katherine: I’d recommend not having users type in paths if at all possible (they will make frustrating mistakes). If there is a selection of these maybe consider turining them into dropdown lists. Either way, these would be no different than e.g. user specified downsampling amounts. or li

Hi Brad, What if its multiple file paths that the user types in rather than actual files, which makes it so the tool can't be executed in batch mode, would it still be workflow compatible at that point? Thanks for pointing me to the Bowtie wrappers as an example. Katherine On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at

HI Katherine: Multi-input/output should work fine… You could have a look at the bowtie wrappers for an example. It takes up to 2 fastq files and a reference. I can output a few files (unmapped, mapped, etc) Brad — Brad Langhorst, Ph.D. Development Scientist New England Biolabs On Aug 26,

Hi Katherine, Are you asking about compatibility staying on the same Galaxy instance, or the harder problem of compatibility sharing workflows between Galaxy servers? Taking data from input Galaxy datasets should be fine, anything else may not be portable. Even the relatively simple case of using

Hi Everyone, Would anyone be able to tell me the conditions which would make a tool non-workflow compatible? I have a tool that imports files from a third party application and auto-detects the file format. There is also the option to upload multiple files at once so the tool always uploads at leas
