Both are correct. ParaView should be using the CanReadFile methods to resolve which reader to use when to readers use the same extension.

BYUReader does not have CanReadFile so it says it can read all *.g files. Changed the order of readers so that ExodusReader gets priority over the BYUReader for .g files. Since ExodusReader supports CanReadFile, it fails for BYU files and then the BYUReader reads them correctly.

I haven't been able to test this (I don't have a GEN file).

Tested with a .g and .gen file. Works great. Tested client/server.
