Add scroll bar to the 'Fix Paths in State File' GUI
Add scroll bar to the 'Fix Paths in State File' GUI so that the GUI does not extend beyond the edge of your monitor making it impossible to fix the path names associated with a session for the files that are forced outside of the extents of the monitor.

Correct wireframe for quadratic elements in multi-core mode
Wireframe (or surface with wireframe) representation does not work with quadratic elements when in multi-core mode. The cause is that quadratic wireframe is not supported when geometry is shipped from server to client (which is implicitly the case for multi-core mode). See bug 10676, the bug that originally implemented correct quadratic wireframes, for more details on this unimplemented case.

boolean operations
add boolean operations between several meshes. Not only append, but really intersection, union, difference.

Add a time range selection on filters input, in particular, for the temporal statistics filter
A lot of simulations have a transient period, interesting but not relevant for statistics. In addition, it could be useful to not "download" these data: a kind of new time origin.

Add setting to change your default volume fraction for imported volume arrays.
When importing spcth databases from CTH into paraview, the "Extract CTH Parts" filter is used to extract each material. The default volume fraction is set to 0.1, but I generally need mine to be at 0.5. It would be great to have an option to manually set the default volume fraction so that that step of adjusting the volume fraction for each material could be eliminated for most cases.

Add to the calc'r filter a running min/max function
In a transient calculation it can be informative to see the maximum (minimum) value at a point (cell) up to the present time.

Table to X filters should support 2D data
The table to points and tabled to structured data require separate columns for x, y, and z coordinates. However, sometimes you are only representing 2D data (or even perhaps 1D data). It should be possible set any of the X, Y, Z Columns to something like "None" so that that coordinate is just filled with 0's.

Screenshot in fullscreen mode
I'd like to do a screenshot in fullscreen. At the moment, this is a bit tedious: I have to use two screens. On the 2nd monitor, a Phyton shell can be opened, and while displaying the picture on the 1st monitor, I can enter the "WriteImage" command in the Phyton shell.
Ok, that works, but I think, there must be a simpler solution. What about connecting the screenshot menu item with a keyboard shortcut, so it can be activated any time?

being able to save selection.
it would be extremely useful to being able to save a selection, either in a separate file or in the current state. also the order of the selection should remain the same.

Can you elaborate on the use-cases where this becomes necessary? That’ll help us determine how we could support this feature.

Stereo mode for FPR (film pattern retard) passive stereo 3D TV (LG's)?
What stereo mode should I use to display on FPR (film pattern retard) passive stereo 3D TV (LG's)? I've tried every --stereo-type with 3.10.1 but could not find.

Hi. Could you post some recommended hardware configurations?
It would be really useful to know how to divide up a £2K/£4K/£6K spend on a workstation optimized for paraview 3D rendering - is it worth spending on lots of multi-core CPUs? Lots of RAM presumably - is it worth spending ~£3K on a CAD level GPU with 6GB of memory? There doesn't appear to be much easy to access info on this on the web (maybe buried somewhere)....

Extend FileSeriesReaderProxy for files named by Date & Time
Extend ParaView's FileSeriesReaderProxy to step through files named by date & time rather than by integers in a filename.
This documentation explains how to use FileSeriesReaderProxy to animte over files named foo1.xyz, foo2.xyz, ... fooN.xyz.
http://paraview.org/Wiki/AnimatinglegacyVTKfileseriesHowever, this doesn't work with filesnamed by date and time (Year-Month-Day-Hour-Minute-Second):
foo1995-03-21T00-00-00.xyz
foo1995-03-21T01-00-00.xyz
...
foo1995-03-21T23-00-00.xyz
foo1995-03-22T00-00-00.xyz
...Inspired from discussions on the mailing list http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2010-December/019663.html

report progress during state loading
Loading from state with complex pipelines on client server mode takes a LONG time. much longer than an end to end update of the same pipeline. When there are multiple views involved it's exponentially longer. During this time there is absolutely no indication of whats going on, progress is not reported. PV should report the progress of each filter as state is loaded.

edge elements
Right now quantities are associated to nodes or elements, but in electromagnetics some quantities are naturally associated to faces (fluxes) or edges (magnetomotive forces) and special finite elements (nedelec / raviart-thomas) can be used to interpolate such quantities. Is support for such entities planned? If not how difficult would it be to implement it?

Support of integration points in finite elements
Paraview is a wonderful program. What is please the current status of integration points on unstructured mesh ? Mapping of stress/strain to nodes presents a lot of troubles and may violate discontinuity. Thanks.
