Hi Bjorn, here's what I have: <collection type="list" label="CrossSample on ${input.name}" name="output"> <discover_datasets pattern="(?P<name>.*)" directory="crossSampleOutputs" /> </collection> I tried this among other things: <collection type="list" label="CrossSample on ${input.name}" name="output" format_source="input"> </collection> I'll try your example. Thank you! On Fri, Jul 29, 2016 at 3:21 PM, Björn Grüning <bjoern.gruening@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Cristel,

can you share some code. If you use discover_datasets like this, format="" should indeed work.

<discover_datasets pattern=".*?\.(?P<designation>.*)\.sharedotus" format="tabular"/>

Another feature is that the filetype is extracted from the extension if you use it like this:

Ciao, Bjoern

Hello galaxy developers,

how do you set the format for datasets in output dataset collections? I looked at some xmls from John Chilton, and tried using format_source="input", or inherit_format="true". Those unfortunately do not work. I also naively tried format="txt" to no avail.

I can't find anything in the documentation. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks much, Cris
