Hi all,

We have a local install of Galaxy that we use for testing for our bioinformatics courses. I am creating some new tool interfaces for the install. I want to create a tool that will allow a user to automatically add a fasta database to the "built-in" databases (without needing to reboot the server). Is this possible?

Along with that issue is that the number of databases for this tool can number in the thousands. Is there a way to easily search the built-in databases for the database you are looking for, and then use that database in a tool? Right now, it is an enormous drop down list which is really annoying and unwieldy.

Finally, these tools can take multiple input files, but I really don't like the way galaxy handles that where you have to continually click on "Add another file". Is there a method or work-around in galaxy where you can have a multi-file select?

- Nik.
