Dear Mitch, I have another feature request that I thought would be best to start on a separate thread. One thing that would be very useful for users like me who have a lot of tracks s the ability to select entire groups of tracks to load at once instead of having to do it individually. For instance, our modENCODE browser has 30 different RNA-Seq tracks from different timepoints throughout Drosophila development. If there was a way to load all 12 embryonic time points at once it would be great. Perhaps one way to do this would be to have a menu type thing on the left where you could have nested tracks. So, perhaps you could have one track listed as "Development" and dragging this to the right would load all 30 time points. Alternatively, there could be an arrow that you could click on and it would display the next set of groupings (e.g., Embryos, Larvae, Pupae, Adults). Again, you could either drag one of these to the browser window to load the whole set or click on an arrow to show the next set of grouping (e.g., the individual tracks in each group). I have absolutely no clue how easy or difficult something like this would be to implement, but it could be quite useful, especially since we will have many more tracks (~200 in the next year or so) to add to the browser. Cheers, Brent |
