Paste multiple barcodes in the Multiple slides wizard

[Johan Vallon-Christersson]

In BASE2, multiple array slides can be created using the “Multiple slides wizard”. However, barcodes must be typed/pasted in one-by-one. In a production setting this is inconvenient as it takes time.

The possibility to paste multiple barcodes for array slides in the “Multiple slides wizard” interface would be very useful. The current interface display a separate barcode text box for each array slide.

Barcodes could be pasted into a separate text box (one barcode per row) or perhaps be pasted into the text box of the first array slide (out of many) and by pasting multiple rows automatically spill over to the remaining array slide barcode boxes.

I did a quick check for this and it seems like there is no browser-independent way to handle past events. It may be possible to create workarounds for some cases, but not for all. For example, 'right mouse click -> paste' in Firefox.

The best option left is to open a second popup with a large input field with one barcode per row.

Replying to nicklas:

It is a very good solution, and it will make the wizard more complete in a production setting.
