Re: [galaxy-dev] Data Library - upload files from filesystem paths

Hi
As an admin I have created a data library on our local instance of galaxy, created
folders in that library and added datasets using
'upload files from filesystem paths' option, choosing not to copy the data into
Galaxy, which then loads all the files in the given directory into the data library.
Is there a way to refresh this list automatically? so that if a new file is added into
that directory it will appear in the data library?
or do I have to add new files in that directory manually, giving the path to the new
file?
You could write a script that polls the desired directory and uses Galaxy's API to
upload new files. See <galaxy install dir>/scripts/api/README for some information.
The distribution includes a script in this same directory to upload library datasets (
library_upload_from_import_dir.py ).
I am also having a problem with creating sub folders - I choose to create sub folder from
the drop down list and it reports that the sub folder has been created but I cant see it,
and I cant click on the blue triangles to the left of the folders either. Does anyone else
have this problem?
Assuming you are adding sub-folders from the Shared Data -> Data Libraries view ( and
not the Admin - Manage data libraries view ), this may be a result of permissions that
have been placed on the library or parent folder in which you are adding sub-folders. The
behavior you see could be a bug, but if so, I'll need some help tracking it down. Can
you confirm from what view you are adding hte sub-folders, and what the permissions are on
the parent folder and library?
Thanks!

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks, Nicki
