[Paraview] Writer plugin?

[Andy Bauer]

I think you may be missing the FileName property. I thought that PV looked
for that attribute to know that it should be classified as a writer. Also,
you'll want to hide that property.

So:
      <StringVectorProperty name="FileName"
                            command="SetFileName"
                            number_of_elements="1"
                            label="File Name">
        <Documentation>
          The file name.
        </Documentation>
      </StringVectorProperty>


and:
      <Hints>
        <Property name="Input" show="0"/>
        <Property name="FileName" show="0"/>
        <WriterFactory extensions="json" file_description="JSON tabular
data" />
      </Hints>
