Alan, Documentation for this is in the new ParaView Users Guide. Relevant text adapted from the LaTeX:
==== Configuring site-wide default settings In addition to individual custom default settings, ParaView offers a way to specify site-wide custom default settings for a ParaView installation. These site-wide custom defaults must be defined in a JSON file with the same structure as the user settings file. In fact, one way to create a site settings file is to set the custom defaults desired in paraview, close the program, then copy the user settings file to the site settings file. The site settings file must be named ParaView-SiteSettings.json. The ParaView executables will search for the site settings file in several locations. If you installed ParaView in the directory INSTALL, then the ParaView executables will search for the site settings file in these directories in the specified order: - INSTALL/share/paraview-X.Y - INSTALL/lib - INSTALL - INSTALL/.. where X is ParaView's major version number and Y is the minor version number. ParaView executables will search these directories in the given order, reading in the first ParaView-SiteSettings.json file it finds. The conventional location for this kind of configuration file is in the 'share' directory (the first directory searched), so we recommend placing the site settings file there. Custom defaults in the user settings file take precedence over custom defaults in the site settings. If the same default is specified in both the ParaView-SiteSettings.json file and ParaView-UserSettings.json file in a user's directory, the default specified in the ParaView-UserSettings.json file will be used. This is true for both object property settings and application-settings set through the Edit -> Settings menu. To aid in debugging problems with the site settings file location, you can define an evironment variable named PV_SETTINGS_DEBUG to something other than an empty string. This will turn on verbose output showing where the ParaView executables are looking for the site settings file. ==== Cory On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 3:02 PM, Scott, W Alan <[email protected]> wrote: > I am trying to set default offscreen rendering in ParaView for my site. > Where is this new functionality located?
