Hello, When using Export to File, it appears that galaxy renames each output file to something generic datXXX.dat and changes the filename extension (to .dat). How do I convince Galaxy to preserve my filenames so I know which file is which ? Is there some other way to download multiple output files and preserve their names and file extensions? Thanks, Danielle ######################################################### Danielle G.

Danielle,

There is currently no way to do this but it would definitely be a useful option to have. I've opened a ticket that you can follow and/or comment on if you're interested: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/680/preserve-dataset-names...

Not currently, but this is on wish list and will likely get done at some point in the future. J.

I forgot to mention that you can inspect the datasets_attrs.txt to see the mapping between datasets and files. datasets_attrs.txt contains a JSON dict, so it would be possible to write a little script that renames datasets based on the values in the dict. J.
