Hello,

I’m responsible of the compilation/installation/deployment of ParaView in my institution. Version 5.4.1 compiled with intel+intelmpi+qt5.9.1+python3.6.4. I deploy extra functionalities using plugins, but now I have some extra functionalities in macros, how can I deploy a macro system wide?? I know the macros are in “~/.config/ParaView/Macros/”. Can I put this macros in a system wide path like plugins??

Thanck,  
Felipe

Not that I know of. Here is a pending feature request for this functionality: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17549](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17549)
