[Paraview] Paraview 3.4 Win64 nit pick

Hi,
I have to say I'm really happy to finally see a 64 bit package
for Paraview. Thanks for this!
I've just installed it and I have one little thing
to point out: the default location for installation is in
Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files. The installed
paraview.exe is actually a 64-bit process, but your installer
package runs as a 32-bit process. My vague recollection is
that the default location is chosen according to the process
type of the installer package unless you hardwire it in
somehow.
Thanks again,
Jon.

Great! Does the next generation imply to 3.4?

reader = sources.ExodusIIReader(?.../can.ex2?)
.

.
reader.UpdatePipelineInformation()
However
dir(reader)
does Not return a method by the name of "UpdatePipelineInformation"
However, the call still works??
How are you able to call a method that is not returned by dir()?
Are there any python debuggers available that will let you step
into the function reader.UpdatePipelineInformation()
to see what is actually being called?
thank you,

It is magic :-)
Actually, it is a common python design pattern. Most of the classes in
the servermanager module are wrappers around low-level classes
provided by the paraview server manager C++ library. In python, you
can define a method (__getattr__) that gets called whenever a symbol
cannot be resolved. This allows python classes to delegate
functionality to other classes. In your case, the reader object has a
member called SMProxy that it is delegating to. If you do
dir(reader.SMProxy)
you can the list of all available functions.
Property objects do the same thing. They delegate to a SMProperty
member.

It is not a format change. It is now possible to load file series of
xml files. For example, if you have
foo_0.vtu
foo_1.vtu
...
you can open them as a group and animate through the series. Were you
looking for something else?
