Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse2 dynamically changing URL?

[Scott C. <sc...@sc...>]

Hi Vaneet,

A JBrowse 2 url puts everything in the session into it, so it is *very* long. You can get that url from hitting the share link at the top of the page and selecting the “long url” option (the short option makes use of a url shortener at jbrowse.org) but generally speaking, that long url isn’t too useful. 

It’s possible to write urls that go into JBrowse 2 that tell it what tracks to open and what assembly to use but that gets immediately converted to a session. 

I hope that helps,
Scott

So far it just stays the same once I start from my default session.  It would be nice if there’s at least a button that can reveal the true long form URL at any point but not sure if that’s possible.  JBrowse 1 had the changing URL so that’s why I’m wondering if it’s still accessible somehow.  This would be a nice feature as it to have as it will make easier to share URLs for specific track arrangements with other users.
