[Paraview] custom filters missing from menus

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Thanks Utkarsh.

For now I've dropped back to 3.10 as I need stuff for a tutorial, once that's out of the way I can offer some help tracking down the problems (assuming you've not already fixed them by then).

John,

I was able to reproduce the problem. I am working on it. There's
something not right about the way the transfer of XML definitions is
being handled between the client and server. I am cleaning that code
up.

Then I connect to a server, panels are still ok, but proxeies have been destroyed. I may have messup up my callbacks to the server closed and reopened after the changes to connection manager. Menus are now gone from plugins.

Try a simple plugin (eg point sprite). when autoloaded and a connection is made - fail - when manually loaded afterwards - ok - can you duplicate that? yes ?
