Import/Export labels option

[Robert Leach]

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Export a set of labels from one dataset and import them into another dataset.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE (OR TRIGGER A NEW FEATURE)

1. View->labels & click export or right-click on labels->export
2. Choose label types to export
3. Click export
4. Give a file name & location for saving
5. Open new treeview data file
6. View->labels & click import or right-click on labels->import
7. Choose label types to import
8. Click import

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

No ability to export or import labels, though TV2 and an early version of TV3 may have had something that worked.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Ability to import/export row and/or column labels. I think that the format of the file should be like a cdt file without any data in it (but data could be allowed).

*DEVELOPERS ONLY*

SUGGESTED CHANGE (Pseudocode optional)

See expected behavior above.

COMMENTS

[Christopher Keil]

@hepcat72 Isn't this a duplicate of the label export features we have solved with alpha03? Such as #249

[Robert Leach]

Copy to clipboard and export a file that can be imported as a separate set of labels seems like distinct issues to me.

[Christopher Keil]

Ok. We have to define how such an export file would look like. Tab-delimited txt-file of the chosen axis? Could you update this issue with the common information?

[Anastasia Baryshnikova]

I would suggest to put this issue on hold until we implement the importing of extra labels onto an existing matrix. Until the importing part is done, exporting is not really super-high priority.

[Robert Leach]

I agree with Anastasia.

Removing milestone: Import/export data (automated comment)

[Robert Leach]

@abarysh - Is this milestone right? Should this issue be on hold? I feel like I might have assigned this milestone on 7/28 when I was converting milestones to components by mistake.

[Anastasia Baryshnikova]

@hepcat72 - It looks ok but I'll be reviewing all milestones in the next day or two and potentially re-prioritize issues. So I'll have a look at this as part of the big picture.
