@ Peter: I'm not sure I can get more precise... the checked attribute has no effect whatsoever, the boxes are always unchecked when I open the tool. I tried the "yes" and the "true" values to no avail.

@ Leandro: Yes I already saw that and tried to correct the code the way someone suggested in the mailing list archives:
http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/attachments/20100924/03979abb/attachment.obj
But since I couldn't get it working I found another way to do what I want.
But that's actually not the issue here. I just want my checkboxes to be checked by default, and it appears not to work.

To give an example, here is one of the lines of my tool XML file:
<param name="SQA" type="boolean" label="Run SolexaQA" checked="true" />
This checkbox remains unchecked at tool opening.

As far as I know, some people managed to get it working and I'd like to know how.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,
L-A

It might help if you were more precise - what isn't working for you?

Ideally there would be an issue already reported on this on bitbucket.
https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issues?sort=-id

As I recall, the checked attribute is working fine for boolean parameters:
