Thanks for the link - I was aware my initial work on adding a generic XML filetype was missing some steps, but I ran out of time yesterday: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/568
Hi all, Could someone please review this patch: https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/changeset/83c4366e0641 This is currently the one and only commit to my xml_filetype branch, https://bitbucket.org/peterjc/galaxy-central/src/xml_filetype This attempts to define a new basic data format 'xml' as per issue 568, https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/568 This might help with a user error I was just presented with, where an Excel spreadsheet was uploaded and miss-identified as text - when it was clearly XML. Clicking on the 'eye' tried to display it and gave a cryptic error message in the central panel. In fact, this example makes me wonder if the proposed base XML datatype class should NOT be a subclass of text (as it is now with the blastxml datatype). Peter
