Hi there!

I'm having trouble getting the vtkJPEGReader to work properly as plugin. Specifically I don't know how to set up the approriate .xml file. It works with command="SetFileName" perfectly, but that way I am getting the first slice only. I see that one should use SetFilePrefix and/or SetFilePattern, but how can I make Paraview pass the appropriate parameters to the plugin??

This is how my .xml looks like, it's just a guess, I really don't know better:

<ServerManagerConfiguration>
 <ProxyGroup name="sources">
  <SourceProxy name="JPEGImageReader"
               class="vtkJPEGReader"
               label="JPEG reader">
    <Documentation
      short_help="Read a JPEG file."
      long_help="Read a JPEG file into an image data.">
The JPEG image reader reads JPG files, and the output is a uniform rectilinear (image/volume) dataset. The default file extension is .jpg.
    </Documentation>
   #will become e.g. /home/christian/jpegs
    <StringVectorProperty
       name="Files"
       animateable="0"
       command="SetFilePrefix"
       number_of_elements="1">
       <FileListDomain name="files"/>
       <Documentation>
         This property specifies the File Prefix for the JPEG reader.
       </Documentation>
       <Hints>
         <UseDirectoryName />
       </Hints>
    </StringVectorProperty>
    #file pattern
    <StringVectorProperty
      name="Pattern"
      animateable="0"
      command="SetFilePattern"
      number_of_elements="1"
      default_value="/*.jpg">
    </StringVectorProperty>
  <!-- End JPEGImageReader -->
  </SourceProxy>
 </ProxyGroup>
</ServerManagerConfiguration>

With that, I get

Unable to open file /home/christian/jpges.0


when trying to open a set of jpges...

Does anyone have any idea? I'd also like to know where there is documentation on all these markups like what you can put in <Hint>, etc..


Best regards,
Christian
