Hi, now it works :-) To be honest, this should be in the documentation for sure. Some people complain that the naming is just a mess. Here a normal use case why: I processed 15 files downloaded from GEO with this workflow: 1. load FASTQ 2. align with Bowtie 3. convert to BAM 4. convert to bigWig When you look at the bigWig files in UCSC the naming is completely lost and you do not know which file is which. So you need to dig all the data tree back to the initial FASTQ file. So just for completeness the variables which are currently valid are: tool_id=bowtie_wrapper: #{sInput1} tool_id=sam_to_bam: #{input1} tool_id=bam_to_bigwig: #{align} This leads to the nice naming in the screen shot.

Ahh, I see what's probably going on. The matching uses the tool's actual input name (which isn't exposed, and isn't always 'input') as opposed to the label that you'll see in the tool form and elsewhere. Which tool is this for? If you look at the tool xml file you should see the real input name and can try that.

Hi Dannon, thanks for the fast reply. I changed it to #{input}. But all the data names are still empty. Is there anything I am missing?
BTW: I am on r7720
Cheers Manuel

The renaming input selector uses # instead of $ to allow combinations with workflow parameters.
So, in your case, #{input} should work. There are also options (basename, upper, lower) that you can use to format the text. So, #{input | upper} would use the input name but ensure that it was all uppercase.

Hi, I have workflows where I would like to rename the item at each step. The reason for this to have a proper naming. What I did is to use the renaming option in the workflow editor. I specified the 'New output name:' to ${input} This does not work. Is there any variable which works or is there a easy way in doing this? Any help or hint is appreciated.
Cheers Manuel
