Hi Nathan
Do you have many tools working with those samples or just a few? If you only have a limited, predefined set of tools you might wanna consider adding the sample selection into the tool.
You can use the from_file, or from_data_table options to dynamically create sample selection list. You can even drill down a hierarchical list. Have a look at ~/tools/annotation_profiler/annotation_profiler.xml which uses the file ~/tool-data/annotation_profiler_options.xml
All you need to do is keeping the file in sync with the directory structure of your samples directory
Regards, Hans-Rudolf

Hi Nathan,
Dannon answered similar question few days ago:
There's an import mechanism in libraries that'll allow you to simply link to the file on disk without copy/upload. I believe the "example_watch_folder.py" sample script (in the distribution) does just this via the API, if you want an example.This might be what you are looking for.

Hello, we’ve set up a local Galaxy instance in our genotyping and next-gen sequencing lab with local Apache LDAP (AD) integration, NFS mounts to a large NAS, and cluster integration coming. Do to the high volume of samples and staff that will be using the system, I want to set up data libraries (without copying to Galaxy). This is obviously no problem the first time, however I was wondering if there was a way to make a library, added from a system path, be dynamic so that it would stay synchronized with the underlying file structure?____ __ __ If a try dynamic library is not possible, is there a method for adding files to an existing library via that same system path that would not duplicate all of the original files in the data library?____ __ __ I did some scouring of the list and found some old unanswered questions and some things tangentially related topics, but I was unable to find a true answer or solution to my problem. Any information on how to do the tasks above or other solutions to provide the same functionality would be greatly appreciated.____ __ __ Thanks,____ Nathan____ __ __ ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
