ParaFoam Paraview ask me to "Open data with"

Hello Foamers,

I compiled paraFoam/paraview. Now when I entering paraFoam in my case directory, it asks me to choose a data source: "Open data with". After I have clicked on OpenFOAM it moves on and the data a there, but I want to get rid of it. I want to have is as usual. What do i do?

I have this problem each time I've had to freshly compile Paraview. If you recompile the PVfoamReader under applications/utilities/postprocessing/graphics and that should do the trick.

Hi
I have the same problem with a binary version of Paraview, for OF1.7 how can I say to paraview to open always a .openfoam file with the same reader?

thanks?

Try following the point number 7 from this blog post: Using the official pre-built ParaView 3.8.0 version with OpenFOAM...

Best regards,
