[Paraview] ParaView III - plugins under OSX

[Randy Hudson]

On my OSX machine, I've built client and server plugins for paraview 3.1.0 for my flash data reader, and set PV_PLUGIN_PATH to 
point to their directories.

Even though the plugins both appear in the "Manage Plugins" dialog of paraview, the plugin's "file_description" string does not 
show up in the "Files of type" drop-down menu of the "Open File" panel.

I've included the server xml, and the client xml and qrc files below.


SERVER MANAGER XML FILE (named "UGFlashReader_Server.xml"):
