Nested structure or sections in drop down lists (select parameters)
Hi all, I'm about to add all our existing BLAST nucleotide databases into the blastdb.loc file, plus all our protein databases into blastdb_p.loc, for use in Galaxy. I've realised these will result in some quite long drop down lists, which will not be very user-friendly. Currently in wwwblast, we have listed our BLAST databases by organism, and inserted dummy disabled options as spacers (e.g. species names). Perhaps a similar mechanism would work in Galaxy? According to the tool configuration page on the wiki the <option> tag only has value and selected tags, it would need something like an enabled tag (default true), and a way to select this from a loc file column. Alternatively I'm wondering if a (multiple select?) drill down select would be possible, something like that used in the Multiple Alignment Viewer tool (file visualization/GMAJ.xml). Are there any other similar situations elsewhere in Galaxy, and how was it handled? Thanks, Peter
