[Paraview] Custom readers for files with 'similar' extensions

[Sven Buijssen]

Hi Duncan,

Do both of your plugins provide a method CanReadFile()? If not, that'd
probably solve the issue.
There are many reader classes in the ParaView source tree that may
provide you with a suitable template for your CanReadFile method.
