Do we load all of those files that are found?

Somewhere in home is $HOME/default_servers.pvsc or $HOME/.paraview/default_servers.pvsc ? Or some environment variable?

Is there a reason to have the default_servers.pvsc in a different location than all the other configuration files ($HOME/.config/Kitware)? Let's talk about this at the Tuesday meeting.

I agree something needs to change.

Currently, user's servers are read and saved with QSettings, found in $HOME/.config/Kitware/, but not in XML format. I suggest not using QSettings, but have plain XML files.

I agree. I would also suggest that the XML either go in a subdirectory of $HOME/.config/Kitware, or be called something other than simply default_servers.pvsc. The path should indicate that the configuration file is specific to ParaView.

Is there a way to get the location where QSettings reads and writes files?

Now reads user settings from
Windows: %APPDATA%\Kitware\servers.pvsc
Unix: $HOME/.config/Kitware/servers.pvsc

Also made changes that will help in fixing bug 0005487.

Still need to read from /usr/share/... or something.

This is bit of a nitpick, but should the file located in $HOME/.config/Kitware or %APPDATA%\Kitware be called servers.pvsc. The file itself is specific to ParaView, but there is nothing in the path to suggest that. Should the file be put in a ParaView subdirectory? Should it be called paraview_servers.pvsc in that directory? Should I just shut up?
