Adds a new parameter 'short_names' to user-defined 'destination' sections in the configuration file, to enable shortened file names to be requested when transferring data.
Adds new '--short_names' option, which causes the utility to make shorter names for various shared files (QC reports, ZIP files and tgz archives) by omitting the run name.

Updates the
transfer_data.pycommand line file sharing utility to add a new option--short_names, which causes the utility to use shorter names for files like ZIP archives, QC reports and.tgzfiles for CellRanger outputs.The names are shortened by omitting the run name from the file basenames and just using the project name. Note that no attempt is made to shorten the names of source Fastq files.
The
auto_processconfiguration has also been updated to add a newshort_namesparameter for each user-defined destination, so that this option can be turned on by default.The use case for this functionality is hosting of data on an
nginxbased webserver, where the auto-indexing limits displayed file names to 50 characters (often truncating the distinguishing parts of file names and hiding them from the user).
