[Paraview] Custom readers for files with 'similar' extensions

[Johnson, Duncan (UK)]

I've had a quick look and they both do, but are simply functions that
return '1' with no checking involved.  I'll have a look through the
source plugins as you suggested to see if I can find some examples.

Hi Duncan,

Do both of your plugins provide a method CanReadFile()? If not, that'd
probably solve the issue.
There are many reader classes in the ParaView source tree that may
provide you with a suitable template for your CanReadFile method.
