Hi,

By "i" do you mean Edit attributes button? There are four sub-headings on that: Attributes, Convert format, Datatype and permissions but I can't see data file's full path on any of them. What's wrong?

No, not the edit button. First click on a dataset's title so it expands. You should see a snippet of data etc plus a row of icons (save, information, reload in bottom left of the history, and tags and annotation bottom right). Peter

Yes, but unfortunately that didn't work too. I have already tried the solution you provided. I could edit the tags and annotations but it won't change the file name in my file system. The file is still named as "dataset_43649.dat".

You *cannot* rename the file on disk (without bypassing Galaxy and editing the database and renaming the file directly). This is by design - unless you are an administrator debugging something or a tool author you don't need to know the actual filename on disk. You *can* rename the description of the file as shown within the Galaxy interface (via edit attributes). Peter

Sachit, that's a feature, not a bug. Changing the name of a file on disk being managed by Galaxy is unlikely to have a happy ending. The pencil icon allows changes to the history display name but the disk file name needs to be left alone. On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 8:15 PM, Sachit Adhikari < sachit.technerves@gmail.com> wrote:
