Download files in a column
I often want to download files in a specific column or two (e.g. metric files). What I do now is download the data model tsv, use unix "cut" to select the column of interest and write that to a file, then do a bash loop "while read f; do gsutil cp $f .; done < files.txt." It would be amazing if I could click on a column, then click Download column, then a file browser pops up that allows me to select the destination directory.

Hi Takuto Sato,
Thank you for writing in! I've sent this request to our development team for consideration, and I'll be happy to follow up with you if this feature gets built.
Kind regards,
Pamela
I often need to download multiple fasta files and have been doing so individually. Previously I would use the Concatenate Workflow, but my position now I am Read Only so this function would save a lot of time. I.e. After a search of all relevant samples, you can download all of the files in a column for those specific samples.
Hey Rahil,
Thank you for your interest in adding this functionality to Terra! I have gone ahead and forwarded your concerns to the appropriate team. We would be happy to follow up with both you and Takuto should the new feature be implemented.
Kind regards,
Shoaib
