When opening a file (like .h5 or .xmf) which can be read via multiple readers in Paraview, the software asks me to choose which reader I want to use. As I always use the same kind of file, I need to use the same reader all the time, and I don't want to have to select it manually every time I open a file.
Is there a way to select the default reader for a given file type in Paraview?
Unfortunately, no, there is not a way to do this as of ParaView 5.0.

I'm attempting to modify a Visio file (Open XML format) without having to use the Windows Visio application. My first experiment is just to use 7zip to unzip a known good .vsdx file that was created using Visio. That is all good; I can view the content of the package. Without making any modifications, I use 7zip to re-zip the content and renamed to .vsdx, but when I tried to open the resulting new file using Visio, it complains that the file is corrupt. Is there a way to manually re-zip the content into something that Visio accepts as a valid Visio file? I suspect that there may be some sort of checks for the validity of the file, but can't find what that may be. Thanks for any input.
I would use some form of OpenXML library to get at the file's guts using some sort of "approved magic".
Understanding that you might not want to do whatever you're doing via programming, I looked for some sort of free editor.
I found this free plug-in for Visual Studio:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bsivanov.OpenXMLPackageEditorforVisualStudio
It works in the free "Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019" as well. I just opened the dev environment (aka: the application) and dragged a Visio .vsdx file into the app. It opened with a tree-like editor. I was able to dig down until I found the visio > pages > page1.xml "leaf". Inside there, I was able to change some text on a shape, then save the "package".
Whatever this tool does, it saves the file properly, and I was able to open the altered .vsdx file in Visio. And the text that I changed in the editor was indeed changed inside of Visio!
I think I've used this in the past:
"Welcome to the Open XML SDK 2.5 for Office"
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-xml/open-xml-sdk
https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK
To edit Visio files without the Visio application, you'll still need to understand how Visio works, to some extent.
A simple example:
I changed the text on a shape fairly easily within one of the page.xml files. That was easy. Then I wanted to add a copy of that shape. It was simple enough to copy and paste the whole xml block for the existing shape, then change the PinX and PinY attributes to move the shape to a different location on the page.
But you won't see that shape unless you give it a unique ID within the page. I tested deleting the ID attribute (to see if Visio would figure it out on open and assign one automatically), but it didn't work. If the ID is the same as another shape, the shape is ignored when you open the file. Once I changed ID to something unused, I did see the new copy of the shape.
If you create grouped shapes, or shapes that have advanced behavior (SmartShapes, ShapeSheet formulas, etc.), then this could get complicated. As formulas need to reference other shapes by ID, so you need to manage the IDs! For simple boxes and lines, etc., it might work well (and fast) to generate these things via OpenXML. Good luck!
I am trying to create a data.t3d file for my TYPO3 sitepackage.
How can I generate this file based on my custom configuration automatically without usind the wizard every time?
I am using TYPO3 8.7.2
Thanks
First of all the most important question: How often do you generate this file? Please note that this is no backup! In most cases you create your sitepackage, export the file and place it in the Initialisation directory. So there is no need to do it often.
One solution to have the same settings for every export (which is more useful I think) is to create a "Preset".
How to create a preset?
You can create a preset when opening the import/export-module and changing to the "File & Preset"-Tab.
Enter a title for your preset and click "Save".
How to load a preset?
To load a preset you select the preset in the "File & Preset"-Tab and press "Load".
Hopefully this will help you.
We have a system where we are generating a report as a Word document (using RDLC).
The report is created in a temporary directory, and then Word is launched to display it to the user.
Word is launched, and the report loaded by:
_wordApplication = (Word.Application)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Word.Application"));
object tempFileNameObj = documentPath;
_wordDocument = _wordApplication.Documents.Open(ref tempFileNameObj);
What I want is to convince Word that this is really a newly created, unsaved file, so it will give the user a SaveAs dialog when they save it (rather than save back to the temporary location).
Ideally, I would like to be able to specify the target directory, and offer a default name.
While the Word is being launched, I can do what I like using Automation, but after Word has been launched, my application will be disconnected from Word, and I would prefer not to leave any macros floating around in the document.
You can rename your .doc file to .dot (Word Template) and if you launch it afterwards, it will create a new File looking exactely like your .doc
If you're not using a macro I believe that the only way to archieve this would be to save the file that they will download be a read-only or user defined template file this way if they wan't to make changes to it they wil have to save it with another name in their computer to save the changes made. If you can use a macro you can archieve more options and even force a save as dialog when the document is opened or when it's closed. I hope this helps as I couldn't find any more information without using a macro.
I have a problem with editing a file.
I'm using the module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser from CPAN.
The existing data in the file I want to add a new set of data and save the file as a new.
Unfortunately, the new file will not write a macro or formula.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
This is a limitation of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, I believe.
You should be able to do it with Win32::OLE, which allows you to programmatically control Excel itself. See the first example in the documentation.
I would like to know if in IIS manager, when I export an application, there is a way to save components selected so, when I export next time, to select them by default (like appHostConfig). Thank you.
Unfortunately that is not possible today, if you are constantly using it you should consider using the command line instead that will easily allow you to save those in an external file and run them as frequently as needed without having to specify everything again.
