This is definitely something we're looking to implement in Galaxy. I started working on a proof of concept a while back for boxing workflows up as tools, but I have not had a chance to finish it yet. What Thon suggests in terms of a simple copy/paste is interesting, and probably a far simpler first step that I'll look into. I could imagine a configurable set of 'component' workflows that you could click and have the steps plopped into your existing workflow. -Dannon On Mar 6, 2012, at 10:25 AM, Ann Black wrote: > Hello - > > I would also like the +1 this feature.
