Remove/rename: enable easier input of lists for processing #10

Open mvences opened 1 year ago

mvences commented 1 year ago

At present, the program requires a very clumsy "log file" format to specify which sequences should be renamed, removed, trimmed etc. across all files in the selected directory. This works well, but is very user-unfriendly. Ideally, users could instead do one or several of the following:

We can think about different ways of doing this, but I THINK the easiest is to write a "translator" that translates such inozt into the required logfile, and then runs the program with the logfile. I am aware this is not at all an elegant way of doing this, but given our time and capacity constraints, perhaps the most realistic way to implement this option. To be discussed.
