Thanks very much for pointing out this problem. This has been
corrected in rev 1714, and is also now available on our main Galaxy
server.

Hello,
When importing BioMart data from galaxy, the format is always "text".
In the "Results" page in BioMart where it says "Export al results to
Galaxy, the only available format is "TSV".
Export all results to
Unique results only
Should this not make the data imported to galaxy to be "tabular"? With
the default "text" format, I cannot view the data within galaxy, I have
to download it first then open in an editor. Only when the I change the
data type to "tabular" do I get to view the data within galaxy. I
downloaded same data as both "text" formatted and "tabular" formatted
and there are no differences between the files.
It would be better if galaxy could automatically change the datatype to
"tabular" when getting data from biomart.
When sequences are imported, perhaps galaxy can detect it as such and
apply the "fasta" format. Biomart always exports sequences in fasta
format but in galaxy this also comes out as text.
