[Genome] save all custom tracks in a single file, please

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Tim,

We agree that saving all of the custom tracks generated in a session 
would be a useful feature.  We are discussing ways this could be 
implemented, but I have no estimated date for completion.

As an alternative, you might be interested in using Galaxy.  Galaxy is a 
set of tools created and maintained at Penn State University that works 
in concert with the UCSC Genome Browser.  It is located here:

http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/

Galaxy allows users to retrieve and manipulate data from UCSC, and to 
save, reload, and share data with the "history" option.

Thank you for your input on the Browser.  I hope you find Galaxy to be a 
useful tool as well.
