I realise now this question was also posted to the dev list, which is probably a better place to discuss it. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter <peter@maubp.freeserve.co.uk> Date: Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 11:05 AM Subject: Re: [galaxy-user] listing attributes of data input To: Freddy de Bree <freddy.debree@wur.nl> Cc: galaxy-user@lists.bx.psu.edu On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 8:40 AM, Freddy de Bree <freddy.debree@wur.nl> wrote:
Dear all,
I was wondering if there is a place within the Galaxy content (a config, an xml file) that gives me some handles on how to address attributes of data input.
For example, I can get the 'file_name' of data input, by addressing this attr as 'input.file_name', and for example, the original name of the data file can be addressed with 'input.name'.
Anyone any clues where I can find this info?

Some are given in examples on the main tool XML doc page, https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/ToolConfigSyntax Others I've noticed by looking at the provided XML wrappers, and/or email list questions. For example, .ext or .extension gives the Galaxy file type (e.g. fasta). Other than that, I guess you can always read the code - but I agree that a document describing this would be nice to have.
