Summary0008329: Edit server in ParaView of a default_servers.pvsc file fails
DescriptionIf a user tries to edit a server using ParaView, sections of the default_servers.pvsc file are deleted.

Found on PV 3.4.0, XP.

If you have one, delete or rename your Documents and Settings\yourName\Application Data\ParaView\servers.pvsc file.

Copy the attached default_servers.pvsc file to your \Program Files\ParaView 3.4.0\bin directory.

Run ParaView.
Edit/Connect.
Select a Sandia server (i.e., use our configuration - example is uploaded)
Edit Server

- First issue - you cannot edit this server. You must make a copy of it first. But, it is confusing how to make this copy. This needs to be clearer -

Save
Select the Sandia server again.
Edit the string, for instance add your name before the _go.
Save.
Close
Exit ParaView.
Now, edit the default file, and the new one you made - servers.pvsc. Compare what has happened to the commands between these two files. They should, and must, match - except for the minor edit you did.

I am going to close this - I believe current behavior is correct.
