Hi Ray
Well, I guess, you can call me 'old-fashioned' ;)
we still solely rely on manually editing the '*loc' files. The main
reason we do that: Most of our reference data is first prepared (by
others) for people using it on the command line, and only in a second
step we make it available via Galaxy.

Hi Hans-Rudolf,
Thank you for getting back to me!
I did take a peak at those files and they seem self-explanatory. I
think I can do that. However, I was worried about the message at the
top of:
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/DataPreparation
It seemed the method written on that page has now been superseded by
Data Managers? I was worried editing *.loc files directly with an
editor would break a database and cause more headaches for me. Is
that not the case or perhaps I can get away with doing it just for the
FASTA files but should still use Data Managers for index generation?
Thank you!
