  • When I export from MC the name of the sequence is cut off after a certain number of characters

    Posted by Gregory Ryan on April 17, 2017 at 8:34 pm

    For some reason whenever I try to export a sequence the name is always cut off, resulting in me having to retype/copy and paste the name over and over again. I checked that it’s not my personal settings but can’t seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

    Thats how it is with MC.
    Control C on seq name. (Copy)
    Export then use control v to rename.
    Simple.

    I could do that but this is only happening on one particular computer here; every other computer will export the full sequence name regardless of length. Is there a setting I could change so I don’t have to copy and paste every time?
