Submitting File Names to Wrapper Plugin

Hi,

I wrote a Python script to rearrange CSVs of Geneious workflow outputs in a way that works with some of our downstream analysis.  The script determines how to treat the CSV based on its name, as different types of outputs need to be formatted differently.  I would like to have the script in wrapper plugin form so it can be incorporated directly into the workflow.  However, when the plugin sends the CSV to the script, it names the CSV as "input.csv".  Is there any way to get it to instead keep the original name?

As a side note, is it possible to tell Geneious that there will not be an output within Geneious from the plugin?  Since it's meant as an exporter and reformatter, it sends the output directly to the user's desktop.  Geneious always gets an error pop-up due to there not being an output within Geneious.

  Hi,

  sorry for the late reply, we've had a long weekend here.
  Unfortunately neither of the things you're asking is currently possible. The filename that is used is hardcoded to "input" + extension, and the operation always expects at least one output file.
