Sometimes a history pane with lots of datasets can become a confusing place. Is it possible to change the colour of completed green datasets? If not could this be a feature? I realise the colour denotes error status (red), or completion (green), so maybe an additional border could be added?
There are more than two states of dataset in history. See https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Histories#History_Panel_Datasets
What color for what state do you have in mind?
I am happy with the current state colouring. What I would like is a way to quickly identify datasets in the history pane by applying colour to the uniformly green boxes, this could be a coloured border for example. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything similar, at the moment.
You can search on the contents of history using advanced features described here: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Histories#Advanced_searching This will narrow down the number of datasets shown in the history.
How would you apply the color to the datasets? I am still unclear on the use case here. You want to highlight a few and then have them highlighted until you cancel it? You can add tags to the datasets and then search the history for tags to quickly filter it.
