[Smtk-developers] CMB6

[David Thompson]

Hi John,

> Looks great, David. Is this on cmb:master?

Not yet; we are trying to get the SMTK dashboards using a new VTK+ParaView (changes to the python module structure are causing problems). TJ had a fix that got everyone except kerbin building yesterday. Once that is done, we will switch cmb/master to point to the cmb6 branch in my repo.

You can see that post-processing mode is on in the screenshot (look for the tooltip). In the future, it might be useful to automatically hide any pqPipelineSource objects in the inspector when leaving post-processing mode and show them again when re-entering;

This is required for CMB6 to work without post-processing mode enabled as otherwise there's no way to change the active pipeline source (the "Pipeline Browser" panel isn't available outside of post-processing mode).
