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 delete button and a trash  
can, but also something that permanently deletes your files, under a  
*Move* menu... named *Offline*...
It would make more sense to me to let the user choose (under Delete)  
whether to keep the entry or not when deleting a file.
Thanks again for this nice tool
Giovanni
