Hello all:
There are times when I want to explore data produced inside my local
galaxy site without using galaxy tools. For example, I may want to run a
custom script or even just a grep type function from the command line on
a couple CuffDiff output files to get an idea of whats inside.
This requires a way to get the absolute path to that dataset as it lives
in galaxy's internal structure. The only way that I have found to do
this is to place this dataset in the shared_data/data_libraries and then
view this dataset's info as admin. This is not practical for the types
of things I want to do (simple one-off old-school command line
investigations on arbitrary files).
Is there a way for me to add this info to the standard "view info" page
format of datasets so that I can do this sort of thing easily? Mind you,
I am not planning to alter the data in galaxy, just look at it and
sometimes dump a summary table to a folder outside of galaxy's domain.
Thanks,
Gus

In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it
would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." I suppose that apples
might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal
time in physics classrooms.
