Not sure if this question or solution has passed this list already but couldn't find anything in the archive.

Is it possible to somehow insert separator lines between groups of for instance bowtie2 indexes?

One of our tool displays it like below (the ----- lines); I would like to add separators but as below is ugly but working. Tried to make them boldface but doesn't work. I now linked an almost empty index.

At best the checkmark should not show up also. Could this be done somehow from the bowtie2.loc file?

This becomes extreme handy when you have a large collection of indexes.

This code in the tool xml loads the index;

<param name="bowtieindexes2" type="select" label="Select genome sets for alignment" help="" display="checkboxes" multiple="True" >

<options from_data_table="bowtie2_indexes">

<column name="name" index="2"/>

<column name="value" index="3"/>

<validator type="no_options" message="No indexes are available" />

</options>

</param>

And shows up in the tool like;
