export features only contains one feature

[yibeichan]

Hello Jeff,

I notice that if I choose multiple features and export them, the .tsv file only contains one feature? And there is no column name indicates whici feature it is.
Is it designed this way or a bug?

Thank you!

Hi Yibei - Yes that is is the expected function right now - although It is on my list to add an "export all" button. Also yes there should be a better column name, right now it might just say "value" if it was a new feature and that is something I need to fix thanks for reporting this!

Thank you! Happy Holidays!!

ah, just have a thought... If you are too busy with it, I can help too. I'm not familiar with Javascript, but if you can point me which file I should look into, I can explore it a bit (when I get bored with doing analysis, haha

If you are up for it, sure please give it a go! I will probably be able to dig into this in the new year.

All of the code is in one file visualizer_sketch.js. This is the line where the third column of any feature gets the name "value":
https://github.com/jsmentch/feature_visualizer/blob/master/visualizer/visualizer_sketch.js#L608

Adding an export all function would probably involve adding a new button and a corresponding function that would loop through all of the features and save them into one tsv.

Now that I think of it, there might need to be some reorganizing to allow for setting the name of a new feature when it is added so that could get a little more complicated

Happy New Year!
Well, obviously I was procrastinating even though I didn't go anywhere for holidays....
I can work on it slowly (our quarter starts next Monday). I'll have more time later March, trying to finish my dissertation by then (hopefully).
