Hey again,
Thanks Utkarsh -- with your description I was able to figure out how
to put a custom filter in some servermanager xml to load it through a
plugin. I was also able to combine this with some GUI xml which adds a
new menu item and puts the custom filter there, plus a custom icon for
the menu (by using CMake and building against ParaView).
In reading through the Plugin HowTo, though, it seems to imply that
both the icon and the GUI xml can be combined into a binary .bqrc file
(using Qt's rcc) so that I could do all of this without having to
build against ParaView (and just load servermanager xml and bqrc
through the Plugin Manager).
I can load the servermanager xml and use the filter, but I can't seem
to get the menu item and/or icon to show up when I load the bqrc file
-- is there a special way to build the qrc and GUI xml together with
rcc to make this work?
Thanks a lot,
-Eric

What I mean by a plugin for a custom filter, is almost like a new
plugin for a filter with the servermanager xml and the gui xmls
however, instead of a new filter, the servermanager xml will inlcude
the custom filter definition. Having said that, it may a good feature
request to add support for specifying filter menu category in cpd
files. Please feel free to add a feature request to the bug tracker.

Hey all,
For my users, too, I've been thinking that it would be nice if all
custom
filters showed up in a special menu item by themselves.
I'm having trouble understanding, Utkarsh, what you mean by "a
plugin that
provides the custom filter you want"... Is it possible for a plugin
to just
load cpd files? Could you please clarify that point a bit?
Thanks a lot,
-Eric

Menu position cannot be controlled from the cpd files. You can
write a
plugin that provides the custom filter you want and then add it to
the
custom menu.

Hi All,
When I write my own plugin filters, I can choose to have them
appear in a
menu of my choice rather than having them under Alphabetical.
I would like to modify the .cpd files of custom filters so that
some
custom
filters appear in another menu than Alphabetical as well. How do
I do
this ?
Is this supported ?
