Advanced parameters that could be consider basic parameters #25

Closed magnuspalmblad closed 1 year ago

magnuspalmblad commented 2 years ago

Perhaps the "Sample to species file", output filename root and output format could be consider basic I/O parameters and placed in the main tab? We can ask the beta testers what they think of course.

524D commented 2 years ago

Maybe just for the "Sample to species file", though I think than we should make clear that this file is not really required to run the software. From my point of view, the Main tab should not scare away first-time users.
Documentation on the Nexus format all seems quite old (about 15 years), is this really a file format that anybody uses these days?

magnuspalmblad commented 2 years ago

Some software still reads Nexus files, but it is probably a "legacy" format these days. However, since it is stable and therefore not difficult to maintain support for, I think we can keep it. But I agree it could be in the Advanced Parameters.

There is a certain charm of having only the "select directory" and start button!

In that case I will leave it as is for now. We can always see if it makes sense to further divide the "advanced parameters" later on.
