New Python GUI
A new set of tabs has been added to the python shell. The python shell is accessed from the main paraview menu: Tools --> Python Shell. The new tabs are:
- Directory view
- Macros
- Trace
Directory View
This tab has a text entry box to enter a script directory. By default, it is set to a 'demos' subfolder inside the paraview python module directory. Only files in the script directory ending with .py are displayed. The following buttons are available:
- Refresh - refreshes the directory view, for convenience if you change something on disk that paraview doesn't know about
- New script - launches the built in editor and displays a new document
