Hi Michael, After discussing this a bit more internally, it seems that the double right-click is more of an artifact, not a feature, and only works for some (as you found out). Most importantly, if you have repositioned tracks using drag-reorder or changed settings with right click, using the built in "Save as..." (no matter how you get to it) will save a copy of the original image, not the updated one, which will be incorrect.
The best method is definitely what Larry suggests below... Sorry for any confusion...and thanks for bringing this to our attention. - Greg Roe UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 3/22/11 12:13 PM, Larry Meyer wrote: > Hi Michael, > > Is the issue that you now have to do this in two steps? i.e.: > > a) right click and view image > b) go to the other window or tab and right click on the image and pick save > > ? > > If so, unfortunately we cannot add a "save image" menu item as the javascript > security model forbids that. > > -larry > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michael Hoffman"<[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 10:36:25 AM > Subject: [Genome] Saving images with advanced JavaScript features enabled > > I *love* the new "advanced javascript features" which have greatly > improved the efficiency of the UCSC Genome Browser. > > However, I used to be able to easily save a tracks image into my lab > notebook using Firefox's "Save Image" feature.
