After generating the “taxa-bar-plots.qzv” file with QIIME2 and visualizing it with “qiime tools view”, I would like to download a table containing absolute counts of taxa for each sample.
I tried to click on the “CSV” link, but nothing gets download; instead, another web page opens up with the list of all taxa and numbers.
Could you please let me know if there is an issue or if I seem to be doing something wrong? I would really appreciate your help!
This is a tricky one --- different browsers handle this in different ways. Technically it has "downloaded" for you, its just that your browser is opening the downloaded file into a new tab, instead of putting it somewhere like your Downloads folder or Desktop. You should be able to do something like "File" -> "Save" in that new tab to save the file. Another option is to select all of the content in that tab, copy, and then paste into a text editor or Excel. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your fast answer! Although I didn’t manage to save the file in a practical way by clicking “File”->“Save”, downloading the .csv file worked well once I changed my browser (from Firefox to Chrome). This was a helpful hint!
