Hi,
I am creating a tool to convert format. The tool will read from the original file, convert the format, then output.
Should I put a "Browser" button like the example tool "Get Data -> Upload File" or I should put a simple input textbox, let the user paste the input file path?
I'd do neither - instead mimic the existing conversion tools - you should take a file input of the required format (the user can then select a previously uploaded dataset, or the results of a previous tool). Your conversion tool shouldn't handle uploading a file to Galaxy. i.e. <param ... type="data" format="xxx" ...> Peter
