Hi, I’ve been looking forward to using the new EnSight reader (`vtkEnSightGoldCombinedReader`) in Paraview. Release notes for 6.0.0 mention these new readers, with features such as ability to select parts to load and Partitioned DataSet Collection output.
However, when I try to open an EnSight .case file in Paraview 6.0.1, it seems that it still uses the old reader (no way to select parts to load, output is Multiblock Dataset).
Looking at Paraview 6.0.1 source code, I can see the new reader in VTK/IO/EnSight, but no relevant changes in VTKExtensions/IOEnSight.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the new reader not exposed yet in Paraview?

The new reader is available, but we have introduced it through a plugin as part of the transition from the old EnSight reader to the new one.
Head to the Tools menu → Manage Plugins… and load the **EnSightGoldCombinedReader** plugin and it will be available.
