Plugins "Auto Load" feature breaks depending on plugin file name
Loading a plugin via its .dll
or .so
file in the Plugin Manager prevents the "Auto Load" feature from working properly depending on the file name.
For example, for a plugin named "MyPlugin", when the .dll/.so file is named MyPluginSomething.dll/.so
, the following will occur:
- Open ParaView and load
MyPluginSomething.dll/.so
- Check "Auto Load"
- Close ParaView
- Reopen ParaView -> the plugin is loaded but the "Auto Load" checkbox is unchecked
- Close ParaView
- Reopen ParaView -> the plugin is not loaded anymore and is named "MyPluginSomething"
Naming the files as MyPlugin.Something.dll/.so
does not produce this issue.
Tested with ParaView 5.9 and 5.11 on Linux and Windows.
