Brian,

Composite datatypes are what you want:

Tool that use composite datatypes include the rGenetics tools and velvetg:

/tools/rgenetics/
tools/sr_assembly/velvetg

Best,

Greetings,

I have a process that is going to generate dozens of output files,
each of which I want to retain as a data repository that will be
leveraged by other downstream tools.  I could just point the
downstream tool at the directory, and it'll know what to look for,
rather than to have to list each output file as a separate parameter.

Is it possible to do this in Galaxy?  And is there a best practice (or
example) for it?

thanks!
