Not sure if I've overlooked a setting somewhere, but is it possible to customize or tweak the job descriptions that are displayed in the history?
The Galaxy user can manually edit them (or do this in a workflow). The Galaxy tool authors have some control as well, e.g. $on_string
Eg. "Compute sequence length on data 1" isn't very descriptive, but if perhaps the annotation field or a description field could be added it would make identification much easier eg. "Compute sequence length on data 1 [Burkholderia pseudomallei K96243]" or even for datatypes that have a defined definition line, perhaps a mouse-over hover could be added with the accession or definition pulled from the input file? These mouse-over hovers are already used to identify the view, edit, and delete icons so no additional libraries wold be used.
I could probably hack something up but thought it better to try and get the feature included.
Any thoughts?
Thanx,
There's been some past discussion of this from a tool developer perspective, e.g. https://trello.com/c/JnhOEqow and http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/Using-input-dataset-names-in-output-datase...
See also the "Inheritance Chain" accessed via the "i" icon of a dataset in your history. That might be tool much for a tooltip :(
