[Paraview] How do I install a python macro?

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Ken,

We recently changed the Macro menu and the way that macro are managed.
The wiki explain the new way.

For your case on ParaView 3.8.0, you need to go to Tools -> Python
Shell, and on the right side select a python file from your disk and
click on the Add Macro button.
