[Paraview] Browsing server files from plugin

[Nehme Bilal]

Hi,

to get the active server, look a this example:

pqServer* PrismCore::getActiveServer() const
{
   pqApplicationCore* core = 
pqApplicationCore::instance();
   pqServerManagerSelection sels = 
*core->getSelectionModel()->selectedItems();
   pqPipelineSource* source = 0;
   pqServer* server=0;
   pqOutputPort* outputPort=0;
   pqServerManagerModelItem* item = 0;
   pqServerManagerSelection::ConstIterator iter = 
sels.begin();

   item = *iter;
   source = dynamic_cast<pqPipelineSource*>(item);
  
   if(source)
     {
     server = source->getServer();
     }
   else
     {
     outputPort=dynamic_cast<pqOutputPort*>(item);
     if(outputPort)
       {
       server= outputPort->getServer();
       }
     else
       {
       server = dynamic_cast<pqServer*>(item);
       }
     }
   return server;
}

You need at least a pqServerManagerModelItem to use this 
way.
I don't know why pqActiveServer::current() is not static !

Then use pqFileDialog with the current server:

pqFileDialog::pqFileDialog(
     pqServer* server,
     QWidget* p,
     const QString& title,
     const QString& startDirectory,
     const QString& nameFilter);
