There is no mechanism in Galaxy for doing this. Galaxy for the most part (or entirely?) does not use extensions for determining data formats - datatypes define sniffer methods and the sniffing methods all inspect the data on the filesystem so require completed uploads and in turn the upload process requires a database entry. -John On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 12:39 AM, <Neil.Burdett@csiro.au> wrote:
Hi
When selecting a file or after clicking on "Execute" to upload a file is it possible to check the file is appropriate i.e. by checking file extension etc, before the file is actually uploaded and put into the database? So the user can't upload the wrong file/format
Thanks
