I want to customize the tophat and related interfaces to allow more than one fastq file per fwd/rev set as is allowed and very helpful in the CLI version:<div><div>$ tophat -o output -p 8 -r 125 -G annotation.gtf myBowtieIndex run1_fwd.fastq,run2_fwd.fastq run1_rev.fastq,run2_rev.fastq</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there a way to select multiple items from a dropdown menu or can/should i convert that part of the interface to a text input field so I can simply feed the command a list of files like on the command line?  This last method seems like it might be a little unsafe though.  But even if its not, it divorces the file management from the history which seems like its not a good idea.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Has anyone done this?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Gus</div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div><br></div><br>-- <br><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><font size="2">In science, &quot;fact&quot; can only mean &quot;confirmed
