Do I have to rename my .ALN and .AFA files to import them? #1

Closed tseemann closed 9 years ago

tseemann commented 10 years ago

My core SNP alignment files (aligned FASTA) are usually named with .aln or .afa extension but 'gingr' seems to be a bit controlling with file extensions it will allow with the File::Open dialogue box.

Any change you can add these extensions?

ondovb commented 10 years ago

Yes, they currently need a .mfa, .fa, or .fna extension and need to be opened from the Import Alignment dialog. Other extensions can easily be added in the next version. The File::Open dialog, however, is specifically for Gingr workspace files (this can also be more clearly labelled in the next version).

For single files, I suggest we simplify things to a single open dialog without suffix restrictions that auto determines the file type. If file type is unclear, a dialog can pop asking the user to choose a supported type. If a file type is chosen that requires simultaneous loading of a reference file, the interface should prompt for that as well. Suggest emulating how a tool like Geneious handles loading alignments.

The extensions .aln and .afa are added to Import Alignment (MFA) in v1.0.1

Arbitrary extensions are now also supported via the Import window in v1.1.
