[Paraview] How to Turnoff ZlibDataCompressor and Appended DateModein DataWriters ?

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Jean,

Long time ago I added a bug report/feature request entry for better file
dialog. We have one now, but is only used for client/server mode.

If we would have a better file dialog, we could do things during loading
and saving of files. Then reader and writer modules could specify
special actions. In your case, the VTK XML writer would have a checkbox
for ascii / binary.

Unfortunately there is a lot of things on the list, so this is on the
back burner.
