[Paraview] Possible bug in client/server mode regarding file opening.

[Andrew Maclean]

I don't know whether this is a bug or something wrong that I am doing as I
am not very experienced with ParaView.

Assume that I have machine A as the client and machine B as the server.
So on B I type:
pvserver -ch=A
On A I type:
pvclient -sh=B

Everything works OK if I use one of the existing sources like the sphere
source. Rendering seems to go OK and there seem to be no problems.

However if I try to open a file the server crashes with the following
message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
pvserver -ch=a
Listen on port: 11111
Waiting for client...
connected to port 11111
Client connected.
ERROR: In /usr/local/src/vtk/ParaView/Servers/Common/vtkProcessModule.cxx,
line540
vtkPVClientServerModule (0x9a7a420): Object type: vtkPVServerFileListing,
couldnot find requested method: "GetActiveFileIsDirectory"
or the method was called with incorrect arguments.

while processing
Message 0 = Invoke
  Argument 0 = id_value {677}
  Argument 1 = string_value {GetActiveFileIsDirectory}


ERROR: In /usr/local/src/vtk/ParaView/Servers/Common/vtkProcessModule.cxx,
line542
vtkPVClientServerModule (0x9a7a420): Aborting execution for debugging

Aborted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can open directories on the remote machine and read/write to files OK. So
is it something that I am doing wrong? It seems to me that paraview is
unable to open a directory on the remote machine for some reason.

Thanks for any help
