Re: [galaxy-dev] Importing Historys in other Galaxy instances

Hi, Stefanie. I think you might want a URL pointing to an "archived history" if you want to move your history to a different Galaxy? I imported your test history into my account on main, then I used the 'export to file' option (it might not be optimally named since it really creates an importable archive) - main returned: "Exporting History 'imported: Neue History zum Test'. Use this link to download the archive or import it to another Galaxy server: http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/history/export_archive?id=735329393657ab63 I just successfully imported from that URL to a private Galaxy and it all looks right.
