Summary0010835: Autoload doesn't work for XML-only plug-ins
DescriptionWhen enabling VTK filters in ParaView with a simple XML description of the proxy, the 'Autoload' checkbox has no effect: The plug-in has to be reloaded each time ParaView starts.
Steps To Reproduce- Go to 'Tools' -> 'Manage plugins'
- Click 'Load new'
- Choose '*.xml' in the combobox 'Files of type'
- Select the attached 'SplineFilter.xml' and press 'Ok'
A SplineFilter plug-in should appear in the plug-ins list.
- Click on '+' to deploy the 'SplineFilter' options
- Check 'Auto Load'
- Close the Plugin Manager
- Close ParaView
- Restart ParaView -> The SplineFilter plug-in is not loaded.
Additional Information1- It is reproducible with any XML proxy description.
2- Creating a dynamic library with ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN based on that XML is a workaround, but it necessitates a build step.
3- A similar bug is described here: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=9803 [^] but concern binary plug-in. Thus it is not a duplicate

TagsNo tags attached.
