Hi Cory,

Thanks a lot for the fast reply, I think this will do for now.

Hi folks,

Is there a built-in way to preserve settings in a custom reader plugin between multiple ParaView sessions?

Use case: in our custom reader it is possible to select a level-of-detail when visualizing data. By default (in the SM.xml) it is set to a value that will be useful for most users, but occasionally it would be nice to preserve the value between sessions (e.g. if a user is looking at many different files and is always selecting a very low level). Thus it would be nice to preserve some values while it does not make sense for others, and it would be nice to be able to enable/disable this behavior.

If there is no built-in way to achieve this, what would be the “canonical” approach to doing it (e.g. writing a statefile/config file to a default directory)?

Thanks a lot in advance

Michael
