Hi Peter, thanks again.

Turns out that it has been implemented by the looks of it in
lib/galaxy/datatypes/tabular.py under class Vcf. However, despite this, it
is always the Text class in data.py that is loaded and not the proper Vcf
one.

Can you point me in the direction of where the type is chosen?

Cheers,
Ed
