[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Enabling parallel projection

[Armin Wehrfritz]

Thanks a lot for the hints, I got my defaults properly set now!

One has to get used to the new search/settings/defaults thing, but it 
works really nicely after all.

I probably should have read the blog posts before I switched to ParaView 
4.2. :)

On the right side of this button (which allows Render View to be minimized/ maximized), are two buttons.  One is restore default settings, one is save settings as default.  Click on save settings as default.
