About the creation of a new folder

Hi all, I would just like to ask if it's possible to create a new folder (via script) in the galaxy-dist folder. Cheers, CL

Hi Ciara, If you mean a new Data Library folder, then yes, via the API. If you mean a new subdirectory on the filesystem in the galaxy-dist directory, I'm not sure that I understand your question (since you can do that with 'mkdir'). --nate

Thanks, Nate! I wasn't so sure before if using mkdir would do the trick. Actually, my main goal is to implement a slightly modified velveth in our galaxy. According to how it's run, I need to provide a directory. I was wondering how I could save the data in the created directory, since all the data that galaxy generates get stored in the database/files/000 folder. I also need to be able to use these data for velvetg. In line with my question, I found this in the galaxy version of velveth: velveth_jgi_wrapper.pl $output $output.extra_files_path Can you explain to me what $output.extra_files_path pertains to here? Cheers, CL
