I think Mathieu presents a good, and much better, solution than we currently have.
How would the “user settings” be created/added/edited/deleted? Could we include site specific settings? Obviously, for Sandia I would like users to use the IOSS reader for CGNS files, but as per a previous conversation with Utkarsh, most general users will still just use the CGNS reader.
What does “use the selected reader” mean? For instance, I have the Exodus reader loaded, and I select can.exo. I use files of type: Specific Format. I haven’t selected a reader? Is this the previously selected reader?
Lets make this the complete list, including illegal readers. Sometimes ParaView thinks a reader is not possible, and won’t present it as an option. We want to try to read with that reader, to see what error messages it presents.
Like any other settings. I was thinking of using something similar to the “DataArrays” settings tab.
Site-specific settings should be supported like any other setting.
