Hi Kaiyu, There are lots of people reading this list who could probably help, but like most other mailing lists, you need to provide enough information about what you specifically want to achieve for anyone reading your posts to be able to provide you with useful help. Your original post asked about "adding a data format (tar file) to galaxy". That might sound perfectly clear and straightforward to you as part of something you're working on, but unfortunately for the rest of us, the best answer depends on your specific goals and skills. For example, as Nate asked specifically:
Are you hoping to create a datatype for a tar file that does not get untarred and remains as a single file, or are do you want to add the ability to upload a tar file and have it untarred, creating >multiple datasets in the process?
Those two example possibilities would have different solutions - is either of those your goal or is it something else? On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 9:37 AM, Kaiyu Shen <ks280007@ohio.edu> wrote:
