Hey all, I am trying to download legends for the distance matrices I have created with qiime2view. The download options work for png and SVG + labels however I only get the figures for each option and not the legend. I assigned each sample to a shape and colour. Is there a way to download a legend instead of creating one manually? I am using Firefox 70.0.1 (64-bit) Thanks, Andrew ---

Which visualization are you looking at, specifically? ---

@Andrew_Richards, I often have to click a dialogue box that lets me have multiple downloads. It took a bit to get the popup, although I'm primarily a chrome user. So, maybe thats worth checking? Best, Justine ---

Thanks, It could be a FireFox bug. It was working before (a second download window would appear after saving the first file) but I believe Firefox updated and then I was not getting that second pop up window. I think I will try Crome in the future. Andrew ---

Hi there, Perhaps I'm overlooking something super obvious but even when I select download SVG+legend, the legend doesn't download. I've tried this in both firefox and chrome as well as for several plots. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? thanks, Theresa ---

Hey there, I ran into the same problem but ended up making my own legend. You could try saving the qzv files on a flash drive and opening them on a completely different computer? ---

I have previously observed some issues with pop-up blockers and the legends file. My suggestion would be to look at the pop-up blocking settings of your browser or to try a different browser if at all possible. ---
