[Paraview-developers] pqFileChooserWidget questions

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I think there needs to be another fix. If I remember correctly,
the setUseDirectoryMode() was added to support the use-case where the user
selects a foo.bar file, but the ServerManager Property on the filter/reader
is to be set to the containing directory for that file. I'll need to brush
my memory a bit more to figure out which concrete use-case was this one (or
if that's no longer the case). A quick search for "UseDirectoryName" hint
in ServerManager xml didn't yield anything. Rob, does CMB use it?
