The zip up-loader is meant to be used for uploading bulks of files, and is working well. For retrieving files from the server there is no batch support. Jari Bob MacCallum wrote: Nicklas Nordborg writes: Giovanni Coppola wrote: Hi everybody, I have two questions: 1) is

Hi all, Just a thought, I think the best choice to trigger a large import like this is to create a plug-in instead of adding extra tabs to the file browser. The plug-in should start by requesting the zip file/directory to import. If the zip file is not already uploaded the user will have an

Hello everybody, thank you for you replies. I'll transform my questions in suggestions: 1) data batch downloading would be great, since this is a pretty basic task, many experiments have 30+ arrays, and right now the user needs two clicks for each. 2) it is extremely misleading, to have a

I think a bulk importer is essential. We have found that all users enter data in bulk. They set aside some time to enter a set of data, usually from the same experiment. Having the user enter each chip individually leads to user frustration and clerical errors. We created a bulk uploader which
