<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The messages should not be output... they are coming from<BR>
LSDyna's CanReadFile() method. I thought I had disabled<BR>
them but I'll look into it again. If it is reading your<BR>
file, then LSDyna's CanReadFile is returning the correct<BR>
value.<BR>
<BR>
The problem is that LSDyna's output files don't have an<BR>
extension (they are named d3plot, d3plot01, ...) and<BR>
ParaView requires either a matching extension or (if you<BR>
put always_try_can_read="1" in the Module tag of the GUI<BR>
XML file) for CanReadFile to return true.<BR>

Subject: [Paraview] LSDynaReader interfering with my own reader<BR>
<BR>
I have a custom reader that reads files with an extension of ".disl". <BR>
I have my own reader for these files which worked fine under PV <BR>
2.4.4. I am now updating for PV 2.6 and when I run ParaView and <BR>
select my file for reading I get the following dumped to the console.<BR>
<BR>

Then my reader kicks in and reads the file just fine. I looked for <BR>
the obvious that the LSDynaReader was also using the ".disl" <BR>
extension but from what I can tell it is not. Anyone have any ideas <BR>
on this?<BR>
<BR>
