Re: [Gmod-ajax] Collapsing categories

[Vaneet L. <van...@uc...>]

Well currently you can collapse parent category as well as all subcategories if you specify each subcategory and parent category in the ‘collapsedCategories’ field.  I was looking for a shortcut to collapse all subcategories under a parent subcategory with maybe a wildcard character or some alternative that would work in your development.  It would be great if something to this effect could be added in a future release, because I am working with a lot of nested subcategories sometimes across 3-4 levels.  Essentially having a collapse all function from a higher level in the configuration would be nice.

Thanks,

That is interesting. I don't think anything like this exists. I guess currently the idea would be to collapse the parent category. rather than collapse all subcategories, but I guess if there is a mix of tracks and categories at one level you want to collapse all the categories at that level rather than the parent?

Hello,

I was wondering is there a way to collapse subcategories within a main category without having to specify every single subcategory separately within this field:

trackSelector→collapsedCategories

If not, it would be nice for this feature to be added to JBrowse somehow using a special wildcard character like perhaps this for example:

collapsedCategories : “Category1/*,Category2/Subcategory1/*’

If it’s not a feature please let me know if I should add a request to GitHub, as I think it would be very helpful when dealing with a lot of categories and subcategories which is the case in my scenario.

Thanks,

Vaneet
