[Paraview-developers] How to find the selected object?

[Ronald Römer]

This sounds interesting! Could you write a snippet of how to get the
selected sources from the pipeline browser? Let us assume that a user
selects two sources. What's the simplest way to get both output-ports? I
could use this information for my plugin, that consumes two polydata
inputs. Currently a dialog is opened, where the user must select the second
input. This takes too much time ...

Thanks.
