On my install of ParaView (5.12.1, Mac ARM, Kitware download), the fetch server configurations dialog is blank. When I click on `Fetch Servers`, the resulting dialog box is empty.

If I then click on the `Edit Sources` button, it looks like the url to the servers is commented out.

If I uncomment the URL and save, the servers get loaded.

Does anyone else see this behavior?

Yep, known issue: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22688](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22688)

And solved in 5.13.0: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge\_requests/6926](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/6926)

OK. That’s good. I didn’t see the bug report when searching there first.

Any chance of backporting the fix to 5.12?

Hi Ken,  
5.13.0 will be out imminently. Do you still need it backported?

That depends. Will ParaView 5.12.2 (if there is one) ever be installed on an HPC system? If not, than probably not. If so, then yes.

@cory.quammen Obviously this is a Kitware question, but my understanding that as 5.13.0-RC2 should be released as 5.13.0 within a week’ish, I strongly doubt there will be a 5.12.2. There will be a 5.13.1 in September, by the way.
