Hi Cory,
I use the reader for vtu format and pvd (vtu time collection). I tried to modify the xml as follows:
<ParaViewPlugin>
<ServerManagerConfiguration>
<ProxyGroup name="sources">
<SourceProxy name="VTUrefresh" base_proxygroup="sources" base_proxyname="VTUReader" class="vtuReader">
<Property name="Refresh" command="Modified" panel_widget="command_button"/>
<Hints>
<ReaderFactory extensions="vtu pvd" file_description="vtu Reader (Refresh button)" />
</Hints>
</SourceProxy>
</ProxyGroup>
</ServerManagerConfiguration>
<ParaViewReaders>
<Reader name="ReaderWithButton" />
</ParaViewReaders>
</ParaViewPlugin>
But I cannot even load it as plugin. Presumably there are special keyword to use for the name of the original reader. Is there a documentation where I can find more information on that topic?
Thanks,
Matthias
