Irvin Naylor (Inactive) added a comment - 14/Apr/21 3:32 PM Most of my work for this ticket has been in CreateQuickloadAction.java at around lines 118-144 In a nutshell the class takes a string of the genome name and description before putting them both into a hashmap, along with the genome builder. The contents of the hashmap will be what will be written into the file on output. A folderpath variable containing the user's selected folder path From there, a for loop the size of the hashmap's size will be created in which it will append the genome's name onto the filepath. My main solution was to place a if conditional within the for loop that checks if the user is selecting an already existing quickload directory with (presumably) its own contents.txt file. If that case is true, then it will instead have the bufferedwriter append the map.get(quickloadFiles [i] ) onto a new line just below the final line of the existing contents.txt's contents. My last roadblock was trying to implement a way for the program to tell where the last line of an exisiting content ends. And there is the question of how to ensure there are no duplicate entries in case someone is slecting the same quickload. There is documentation for an append method with the bufferedwriter. Will pause work on this ticket for now.
