Summary

0007241: inconsistent behaviour and "site administrators" lockout with Application Data/ParaView/servers.pvsc

Description

I tested this on Windows only.

If the servers.pvsc file does not exist, then after running ParaView, one gets created. The next time ParaView is run, if you try to edit the servers settings, the Configure Server dialog comes up in a read-only mode, with the message, "This server was configured by site-administrators and cannot be modified" An (older) servers.pvsc that I have on my system does allow editing the parameters in the Configure Server dialog.

(see attached image)

It seems like ParaView should keep track of which file it initially gets the server settings from, or classify each setting as read, read/write, write, or something like that, so that it does a better job and not lock the user out from settings they want to edit.

Another idea, would be to always allow editing if the user checks a "edit" check box on the dialog.

Additional Information

The servers.pvsc file that allows editing in the configure server dialog looks like this:
