Load row/col labels doesn't work

[Anastasia Baryshnikova]

What is the right format for loading new labels? I tried a file with e.g., 3 columns, with and without headers. The progress bars show the loading process. At the end 3 new label types are added to the list, but they are neither the headers nor the first row of the file, and after selecting them, no label appears next to the matrix.

As discussed in our meeting, I have removed this from the list of issues to resolve for the first release. I have also commented the label load button out of the release branch code.

Use case: - You load a new matrix where rows and columns are systematic gene names (e.g., YAL001W in yeast) or some custom label (e.g., YAL001W_tsq1234). You realize that those labels are really not that informative to you and you want to change them. You prepare a text file where the first column is the original label, and the subsequent columns are the new labels (in theory, unlimited). -The file may or may not have a header row. In the first pass, we can ignore the headers (they just won't match anything in the current file, and therefore won't get used). - Once loaded, the columns should be assigned a unique name (e.g., Custom label 1, Custom label 2) and users can see what they containing by clicking on them in the Label window (the labels in the main window are updated right away, so it's easy to flip through a bunch of custom labels). - If it's easy to implement right away, we can do the opposite: assume the first row always contains headers, and assign those as column names.

Acceptance criteria: - File loads with no errors - The right number of columns is generated - The names of the columns are correct - Labels that are not matched by anything in the new file should be labelled accordingly (e.g., NOT MATCHED or something like that) - Labels are saved as part of the session, so that next time I open that file, I don't have to reload them.

Until we bring back the menu item to load labels or decide this is a priority feature to bring back, this issue will be on hold.
