Re: [galaxy-dev] Upload File Button

Excerpts from Chorny, Ilya's message of 2011-10-20 00:08:11 +0000:

I want to upload an experiment specific file from the workflow and bypass loading it into the history.

Galaxy doesn't really support this mode of operation. Data upload and tool/workflow execution are separated so that all data used by tools is captured within immutable datasets to ensure reproducibility. You could implement this, but unless you still create a dataset for the uploaded file, I think it would break other things (like re-running tools). -- James Taylor, Assistant Professor, Biology / Computer Science, Emory University
