Xunlei,

There is no auto-generation of GUI elements for the properties tab of a reader. Your reader has to populate the tab.
Are you looking for something like "Cell/Point Array Status" to pop up in the properties tab? Like the VTU-XML Reader and many others offer?
Such that you can select the variables to actually import or ignore while loading, respectively?

Karl
