Allow selecting both metadata & sequence files together? #1433

Open emmahodcroft opened 7 months ago

Allowing a file selection dialogue to select 2 files, or dragging-and-dropping 2 files into the upload box, would make it very slightly easier for people to put their files in the website (and reduce the chance they drag the fasta to the tsv box or vice-versa).

Not urgent, and not MVP - just worth considering. I guess then we'd need to figure out which is which, which we may not do at the moment.

Great suggestion: It's easy as we can detect the type of file simply by file ending.

It would be important to visually indicate which file if any was still missing.
