[Paraview-developers] [Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Scripting image compression parameters

[Cory Quammen]

Faiz,

The Python trace is not expected to record application-level settings.
For some settings, it could possibly be reasonable to record them in a
trace and play them back, but other settings it doesn't make much
sense because they require an application restart, for example, or
only affect aspects of the user interface.

Best,
Cory
