May 2019 Galaxy Release (v 19.05)¶
Highlights¶
Tool Favorites
Tools can now be marked as favorites, and then they’ll be easily accessible from the star button in your tool panel.
Workflow Editor Connection Feedback
The editor now provides feedback on why connections are invalid, so you aren’t left wondering why two tools won’t connect. For complex data pipelines this should greatly simplify your life!
Data Dialog for Tool Form
There is a new way to select datasets when running tools! It is a very simple method to select any number of files from both your History and Data Libraries.
Additionally the selector implements a highly requested feature, the ability to run tools on arbitrary datasets from a collection

These features used to be clumsy in the past but do not despair since in this release they got a revamp and their reliability skyrocketed! Moving historic object across Galaxies should now be easier than ever. Rocketfuel included.
