Re: [base] file format matching problems

2007-05-03 Thread Steve Taylor
Hi Nicklas,


I got a confusing message when I was using the Experiments  Import.
Basically, BASE was expecting a zip file and I was (perhaps stupidly)
trying to upload a single file. The BASE WWW interface returned:

'We couldn't find any file format mathing the file
/home/Admin/latestbluefuse.txt.'

In the error log the problem is clear.

= ===NEW BATCH IMPORT
= = file is not a zip
file java.lang.NullPointerException at
sbrn.base.BatchDataImporter.isImportable(BatchDataImporter.java:181) 
at
net.sf.basedb.util.AutoDetectFileFormat.findPlugins(AutoDetectFileFormat.java:145)



Could a similar message be shown in the GUI? 
 
 
 As it is currently implemented it is not possible. A plugin can only 
 answer yes or no when asked if it can import a file. Unfortunately, it 
 can't give any reason why the file can't be imported.


Perhaps the button and/or title could be changed to reflect the function in the 
meantime e.g.

Button name = 'Batch Import' and the title pop up = 'Import a zip file'?

Regards and thanks,

Steve
