    Michael & Christian,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your emails. I've been doing some other things, but am
    returning to this question. Michael, I am attempting to use the
    solution you proposed: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

      class="">http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2013-June/028596.html</a><br>
    <br>
    However, when I try to adapt this to use ExodusII instead of Xdmf, I
    crash Paraview. I copied the code from the above link, and simply
    replaced 'Xdmf' with 'ExodusII'. When I try to load my xml file into
    paraview using the plug-in manager, that's when I cause the crash.
    I've successfully loaded the plugin in its un-modified form (e.g.
    the Xdmf form), so I must not be modifying the code correctly. I'm
    sure it's something exceedingly simple (I've tried replacing
    class=vtkExodusIIReader with class=vtkExodusReader for example), but
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong. <br>
    <br>
    Here is my code:<br>
    <br>
    <ParaViewPlugin><br>
    <ServerManagerConfiguration><br>
      <ProxyGroup name="sources"><br>
    <SourceProxy name="EXODUSRrefresh" base_proxygroup="sources"<br>
    base_proxyname="ExodusIIReader" class="vtkExodusIIReader"><br>
          <Property name="Refresh" command="Modified"<br>
    panel_widget="command_button"/><br>
          <Hints><br>
            <ReaderFactory extensions="e" file_description="ExodusII
    Reader<br>
    (Refresh button)" /><br>
          </Hints><br>
        </SourceProxy><br>
      </ProxyGroup><br>
      </ServerManagerConfiguration><br>
      <ParaViewReaders><br>
        <Reader name="ReaderWithButton" /><br>
      </ParaViewReaders><br>
    </ParaViewPlugin><br>
    <br>
    Any help from anyone would be appreciated!<br>
