[Paraview] plugin not loaded?

Yes, I knew about that, however it is no good option. Why? Because, I have
multiple builds of ParaView, 3.4 and 3.7 and soon to be 3.6 we hope ;) If I
use the environment variable then 3.4 will attempt to load plugin from 3.7
install and vise versa, and this is no good to me.

I understand from the Wiki that ParaView searches these directories and even
the Tools->Manage PLugins dialog claims that ParaView automatically searches
c:\paraview\installs\3.7\bin\plugins\gdareader,  c:\Documents and
Settings\Bam\Application Data\ParaView,

I ask you again, is this supose to work??
I see many plugins in folders in the installs\3.7\bin\plugins folder, I
think that ParaView requires these no? I don't see any of them loaded
automatically :(
Is it a bug , or I just do wrong things?

Experts plz HLP ;)
